Have you ever wondered how we can go from being relaxed and calm 😴 one minute to energetic and alert 👀 the next? In this episode of Psychology Terms Made Easy, DSEC Lab research assistant Keren Katz breaks down the difference between our sympathetic nervous system and our parasympathetic nervous system 🧠. These systems serve different functions, but work together to help prepare for and respond to different situations. In other words, they keep us balanced! ⚖️ Test your understanding in the comments: which system you would want activated when you see a bear 🐻 face to face in real life, versus when you are sitting watching a movie with a bear as the main character 🧸?
