The Grieving Brain: The Science Of Love & Loss | Mary-Frances O'Connor - 368

Did you know grief changes our brain? As a matter of fact, Mary-Frances shares with me that so do relationships and bonding. I got curious around the whole 'science of grief' last month when I found myself in the thick of it all and wondering 'what's the purpose of this physical, emotional and psychological response to loss. So I found the leader in the field of research around complicated grief, Mary-Frances O'Connor. Her work primarily focuses on trying to tease out the mechanisms that cause this ongoing and severe reaction to loss. In particular, she is curious about the neurobiological, immune, and cardiovascular factors that vary between individual responses to grief. Enjoy!
