Your Fantastic Mind: Episode 2

Why do some people and some brains recover and why others don’t? Can teaching tango to Parkinson’s patients slow the progression of the disease? It’s called Blepharospasm and it’s a rare disease that makes people blink uncontrollably leading to blindness. We follow one woman who has not been able to see for 25 years as she regains her sight.
