Ep 2. The Lonely Self-Isolating Brain
Is COVID-19 making you miss your family and friends? Is it making you feel less social than usual? We're curious about this paradox of feelings too! In this episode, Emily and Gaya sit down to explore what happens in the brain when we feel lonely. They discuss the history and physiology of loneliness, and look at whether social media exacerbates our loneliness or not. They also look at a very interesting study about how kittens feel attachment to their humans.
