We got to learn what acute stress and chronic stress do to our health, and how the brain lives stressful situations. Most importantly, we got some good ideas on how to manage stress to live a better life.

This week we will study one of my favorite classes of the semester. Talking about social connections is very important for brain health. And recent science thinks so too!
