Premieres Wednesdays, October 14-November 18, 10:00-11:00 p.m. ET on PBS.

A typical 2 year old is building 2 million new connections every second but after the age of two this growth is halted, and a process of pruning begins. The process of becoming someone is about pruning back the brain’s connections.
