Radiolab is one of my favorite things ever.

This is a short clip about a rare disorder called Capgras, in which patients seem to think that their close family members are impostors who look exactly like them. Are the feelings we have for those we love actually essential in recognizing them?? It looks like it is!

[P.S. Professor Ramachandran from UCSD is in this one, and he is great.]
