Is my brain me?
Diane Lane is a neuroscientist. She’s spent her life studying the brain—its patterns, its failures, its power to define who we are. But when her mom has a stroke, something essential seems to slip away. The woman she knew is still there—but changed. It forces us to ask: If our brain can so deeply alter us, does it define who we are? We visit a neuroscience lab and hold real human brains in our hands. We meet a man who wants his mind back—and he’s willing to go to extreme lengths to get it. Finally, we wrestle with a haunting question at the edge of science and faith: Are we just the sum of our neurons… or are we something more?
