2020... The Year of Stress... We're past the halfway point in spooky October everyone, hope you've been having a nice time! This episode is part three of our series on stress -- we covered stress hormones and the parts of your body that make them in the past two episodes, so this episode is all about the BRAIN! The hippocampus! The amygdala! The medial prefrontal cortex! WTF are they doing and why does my brain want me to feel this way?
This episode has a promo for Plants and Pipettes, a podcast about the molecular biology of plants, those goofy things! Check them out at @plantspipettes on twitter and at https://plantsandpipettes.com/.
