Neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell is interested in how human diversity and individual differences stem from how out brains are wired. In this talk, he explores the groundbreaking science behind this subject and uses examples of his own work to answer questions like- how are variations in our brain development linked to adult psychology and behaviour? And can brain development really have an impact on our personality, intelligence or sexuality?
