The Body

4K 8 x 50 min
The latest research is revealing that every cell and organ in our body is an active, boisterous participant in a dynamic exchange of information. Inside us, then, is a veritable cacophony, a massive self-supporting information network. And deciphering these "messages" exchanged between organs is paving the way to new treatments for diseases including cancer, diabetes, and dementia. Utilizing beautiful UHD imagery, this eye-opening series will mark a paradigm-shift from the age-old thinking that the brain is at the center of it all.
