I wrote this book to try to give a flavor of the field and give people an idea of

what is going on inside of Embrio's brain because every baby is born with its own

brain like you're born with a face a particular face that might be a combination of your fathers your mothers

but it's partly your own to your brain is also your own because of all the

complications the thousands and thousands of steps and molecules and genes involved, no two people's

brain is ever going to be built the same way.

So it's just interesting for people to understand that we're not born just as pure blank

equal slates. Everybody's different in their own way. Welcome to brain science, the

brain science, the podcast that explores how recent discoveries in

neuroscience are unraveling the mystery of how our brain makes us human. I'm your host Dr.

Ginger Campbell and this is episode 201. Today's episode is an

interview with William A Harris who is a professor emeritus from Cambridge University.

He will be talking about his new book, Zero to Birth,

How the Human brain is built.
