Have you ever played football or another contact sport? Have you ever gotten a concussion as a result? In "The Neuroscience Underlying Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and Concussions" we will learn about what happens to our brains when they are concussed, and why concussions can be dangerous. We will also learn more about different types of TBIs and what can cause them. In the second part of this class, "The Neuroscience and Psychology of Stress", we will answer the questions of: what happens to our brains and bodies when we experience stress? What are certain factors that can make us more likely to experience chronic stress? We will also be examining how stress, imposter syndrome, and self-fulfilling prophecies are linked--and methods of mitigating them.
