BBC Horizon: How Does Your Memory Work?

"You might think that your memory is there to help you remember facts, such as birthdays or shopping lists. If so, you would be very wrong. The ability to travel back in time in your mind is, perhaps, your most remarkable ability, and develops over your lifespan. the startling truth that everyone is little more than their own memory."

Rather bizarre thought, but could you programme a baby into doing or becoming someone completely different than every other human being? Seeing that neurons and the brain is kind of made up by the things that we see and observe. Could you thereby programme a human however you want to?
