Presented by Janavi Kanagasundaram, this podcast explores the effects of social isolation and solitude on the brain.
Podcast Description:
Social distancing, mask wearing, little physical contact or hugs…it’s been a difficult year. If you’ve felt lonely or had friends or family feel that way, you’re most definitely not the only one; loneliness is at record highs in America. In this episode, Janavi details the latest neuroscience research on loneliness and social isolation: where these feelings come from, what they mean for our health, and how we can go about combating them—maybe in a way you haven’t considered before.
