Our brain allows us to make sense of our environment and guides our behaviour. How does it do this? 🧠 These slides are brief overviews of some key regions of the brain that work together to process all the social and emotional information we encounter in our daily lives. Think about it: your brain has to detect, interpret, and respond to lots of information from other people… including their smiles or frowns, the content of what they say to us, and the context we are in! 🤯
Think of this as a primer to your brain in its social environment. But, make sure to check out the last slide: none of these brain regions work alone! 🧩
Shout out to @DSECLab volunteer and former directed lab student Jay Burns for this guide of the social brain! Have you heard of these brain regions before? ❔
