Plot Synopsis

THE MIND, EXPLAINED is a documentary series that delves into the complexities of the human brain. Each 20-minute episode focuses on a different topic, including memory, dreams, anxiety, mindfulness, and psychedelics. Narrated by Emma Stone, the series opener, "Memory," searches answers to the question "How does remembering work?," and then delves into the way the brain stores, processes and retrieves memories -- and why certain ones sometimes prove unreliable. Netflix released the entire five-episode series on Thursday, September 12, 2019 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT.
