Product Description

As a neuroscientist, Bruce McEwen began his career in the 1960s at a time when most scientists believed that the brain ceases to change when it becomes fully developed. In 1968, McEwen and his colleagues made the landmark discovery that the brain’s hippocampus region is influenced by stress hormones like cortisol—the first of many subsequent observations. Over the next few decades, he was a pioneer in rigorously bridging the gap between cellular biochemistry and human health and behavior.
 
We can try to avoid adversity in life, but it comes with being human. This 4 CEU online class focuses on various ways to build personal resilience and practice mindfulness daily to deal with the frustrations and setbacks of life.
