The English zoologist and neurophysiologist John Zachary Young explores the function of the brain, the way it facilitates communication between human beings, and the current scientific methods used to further our understanding of its capacity, in his Reith lecture series entitled 'Doubt and Certainty in Science'.

In his second lecture, entitled 'Brains as Machines', J Z Young gives an overview of some of the new ideas that scientists have been developing over the last decades to describe recent discoveries about nerves and brains.
