Episode SummaryRenowned evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar returns for part two of his conversation with Jef Szi and the How Humans Work Podcast, diving deeper into the limits and leaps of human social patterns.In this episode, Professor Dunbar expands on the evolutionary foundations of human relationships, moving beyond social grooming and the endorphin system to explore kinship and the deeper nature of our social lives.He begins by examining the cost and time investment required to maintain our inner circle of intimate friends. From there, he maps out the concentric layers of more peripheral friendships and the behaviors and expectations that characterize them. Dunbar emphasizes the vital role our closest five friends play in our wellbeing and longevity.We then explore how humans scaled up from the group sizes typical of primates to the now-famous “Dunbar's Number” of 150. This leap—central to the Social Brain Hypothesis—reveals how brain size in primates correlates with social group size, due to the cognitive demands of managing complex, stable relationships.Dunbar illustrates these ideas through compelling examples—courtship, language, and religion—showing how humans have creatively repurposed existing biological mechanisms to sustain cohesion in increasingly larger groups.He also sheds light on how cultural practices like laughter, feasting, ritual, and storytelling serve to bind people together into broad, loosely connected “supergroups.”Ultimately, Dunbar offers a concentric model of our social world, illuminating the patterns, breakthroughs, and constraints of human sociality. This conversation helps us better understand our evolutionary journey and how we might draw on both embodied emotion and cognitive insight to navigate a highly uncertain future.***** About: Robin Dunbar: Robin Dunbar is Emeritus Professor of Evolutionary Psychology at Oxford University. His work in the Experimental Psychology department at the Magdalen College is concerned with ‘trying to understand the behavioral, cognitive and neuroendocrinological mechanisms that underpin social bonding in primates (in general) and humans (in particular).' Robin is the author of several books, including The Social Brain, Human Evolution, and Friends: Understanding the Power of Our Most Important Relationships. Professor Dunbar is known for advancing the Social Brain Hypothesis with Dunbar's Number. *****Episode #48 TakeawaysDunbar's number suggests humans can maintain 150 relationships.Time investment is key to strong friendships.Friendships provide emotional support during crises.Social interactions can be as beneficial as medical interventions.Volunteering can substitute for friendships in terms of social exposure.Cohesion in larger groups requires superficial cues and shared knowledge. Friendship layers are assessed within the first four weeks.Common interests determine the depth of friendships.Intuition plays a key role in evaluating relationships.Institutions help manage social cohesion and relationships.Shared knowledge and folklore create larger communities.Religion serves as a stabilizing force in communities.Top-down structures provide discipline, while bottom-up structures foster local identity.Population density poses significant future challenges.Humans have historically found solutions to problems.Optimism is essential for...
When someone we know or love starts to develop psychological issues, we don't often associate it with a form of dementia. However, this trait is one of the most common signs of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) — the most common neurodegenerative disease in people under the age of 65. In his new book, Mysteries of the Social Brain: Understanding Human Behavior Through Science, Dr. Bruce Miller highlights his experiences observing people with FTD and what they have taught him about what he calls the "social brain."Dr. Bruce Miller has been observing people with FTD for decades in the Memory and Aging Center at the University of San Francisco, where he is also Professor of Neurology and the Founding Director of the Global Brain Health Institute. He shares key insights on how to keep our "social brain" healthy and how it can even unlock our creative potential.
New research from UC San Francisco's Memory and Aging Center suggests that a decline in one region of the brain can cause other regions to “step in to help” – unlocking surprising capacities like deeper empathy or creativity. We talk to two UCSF doctors about why this has implications for any neurodegenerative disorder, including dementia. They join us to share their dementia-related discoveries. Their new book is “Mysteries of the Social Brain.” Guests: Dr. Bruce Miller, A.W. and Mary Margaret Clausen Distinguished Professor in Neurology, UCSF; Director of the UCSF Memory and Aging Center; founding director of the Global Brain Health Institute Dr. Virginia Sturm, professor in the Departments of Neurology and Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, UCSF Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode SummaryThe equally erudite and jovial Robin Dunbar joins Jef Szi and the How Humans Work Podcast for the first of a two part conversation about limits and leaps of social patterns in primates and humans. An Oxford University professor of evolutionary psychology and someone with a facile grasp of multiple sciences and histories, Professor Dunbar offers us a fascinating account of the social roots of human nature. In part 1—The Chemistry of Connection—we dive deeply into the endorphin system and the how it functions to stabilize social bonds in groups. We come to see freshly how critical a role endorphins play in our day to day reality. Drawing on his rich understanding of touch, primates, and the wildly comprehensive health benefits endorphins, Dunbar illustrates the connections between chemistry, evolution, and the roots of social blueprint—translating it into the very familiar ‘raw feels' of relationships that inform how we see, think, and feel about the world. In particular, Robin clarifies how and why social grooming assists us in dealing with unique social stresses that accompany a group survival strategy that primate species have. Further, Robin mirthfully shows us the unique elements of the human social tool kit, which activates social glue of endorphins without the time intensive work of touch. Indeed, the social tool kit of humans relies on the beautiful elements of laughter, dancing, singing, feasting, storytelling, and rituals to foster social cohesion. The Chemistry of Connection helps us in on our search for to understand what Social Cohesion is and how we can more successfully find it. Thank you Robin, it was a brilliant blessing to learn so much about human nature and our human story with you!***** About: Robin Dunbar: Professor Dunbar is Emeritus Professor of Evolutionary Psychology at Oxford University.

How to really know what your audience is thinking.To be a great communicator, you have to get out of your own head. But that's not all, says Matt Lieberman. According to him, you also have to get into the head of someone else.“Mind-reading is this remarkable ability that humans have,” explains Lieberman, a professor of psychology, director of UCLA's Social Cognitive Neuroscience Lab, and author of Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect. But even as we engage in perspective-taking, Lieberman says our attempts to mind-read often miss the mark. Instead, he advocates for “perspective-getting” — where we don't just intuit what others think, we ask them directly. “That is where more productive conversation comes from,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Lieberman and host Matt Abrahams explore insights from social neuroscience that can help us communicate more effectively. From understanding how our brains process social interactions to recognizing our own assumptions, he reveals why successful communication requires both humility and genuine curiosity about how others see the world.Episode Reference Links:Matt Lieberman Matt's Book: Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to ConnectEp.24 Feelings First: How Emotion Shapes Our Communication, Decisions, and ExperiencesEp.39 Brains Love Stories: How Leveraging Neuroscience Can Capture People's Emotions Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:14) - The Social Brain (05:15) - Neuroscience in Business (07:14) - The Science of Persuasion (11:46) - Social Pain & Connection (15:04) - Tackling Loneliness (17:56) - The Final Three Questions (24:01) - Conclusion ********Become a Faster Smarter Supporter by joining TFTS Premium.
Our brains hold our relational history—all the joys, all the ruptures, all the repairs. And even in the most difficult childhood or parenting circumstances, the science of relationships and connection can give us hope for whole-brain and whole-life transformation.Therapist, bestselling author, and mom—Dr. Tina Payne Bryson is seeking a connection revolution that brings neurobiology and practical relational wisdom to bear on both how we were parented, how we parent, and how we relate throughout our lifespan.In this conversation with Tina Bryson, we discuss:The science of childhood relational development and growth into strong, adaptive adultsThe brain as our most social organ—capable of holding a lifetime of relational and emotional historyHow to emotionally co-regulate with another person to achieve a calm, peaceful, and vibrant relationshipNeuroplasticity and our ability to change with intention toward our deepest held valuesAnd we explore how the science of connection, attachment, and interpersonal neurobiology sheds light on how we were parented, and impacts how we might parent ourselves and how we relate to everyone.Books by Dr. Tina BrysonThe Way of Play (Tina's latest book!)The Whole-Brain ChildNo-Drama DisciplineThe Yes BrainThe Power of Showing UpFollow Tina BrysonTinaBryson.com Instagram X The Center for ConnectionShow NotesDr. Tina Bryson: an expert in neurobiology, parenting, child development, and attachment theory.Highlighting Tina's unique perspective as both a clinician and science-engaged researcher.This conversation focuses on parenting, but it's relevant for everyone—whether you're a leader, mentor, or someone reflecting on your own upbringingThe importance of connection, attunement, and emotional regulation in today's world."I feel so aware that this is not an easy time to be a child or a teenager in the world."Kids today face unique challenges that are very different from previous generations:More stimulation, information, and pressure than ever before.Earlier onset of puberty and adolescence, with young adults taking longer to launch."We often talk about the challenges of youth, which are absolutely real, but we don't want to forget that in many ways, the world is actually safer."Positive shifts in youth well-being: fewer teen pregnancies; safer environments (cars, car seats, public spaces)l greater awareness of mental health, substance use, and emotional well-beingWhat Do You Say?: How to Talk with Kids to Build Motivation, Stress Tolerance, and a Happy Home, by William Stixrud and Ned JohnsonThe brain is a social organ—we are profoundly shaped by the people around us."A huge contributor to some of the struggles youth are having is because their grownups are not thriving."Interpersonal neurobiology teaches that children's well-being is tied to their caregivers' ability to regulate their own emotions.Takeaway: Parents who are anxious, reactive, or dysregulated create environments where their children struggle to regulate their emotions."The greatest gift we can give each other is a calm presence."“History is not destiny.”Emotional offloading or outsourcingSafe haven or safe harbor: cozy, safe, calm“My mom will never listen.”Understanding teenagers“Please don't chase your child and force connection.”Non-eye contact feels less intrusive and they'll open up moreUnderstanding Attachment & The Four S's: Safe, Seen, Soothed, SecureSecure attachment is a key predictor of well-being in children and adults.Attachment is built through repeated experiences of the Four S's:Safe: "Do I feel physically and emotionally secure with this person?"Seen: "Does this person understand and acknowledge my emotions and experiences?"Soothed: "When I'm in distress, does this person help me feel better?"Secure: "Do I trust that this person will be there for me consistently?"Set an intention: "When my child walks through the door, I want them to feel at rest, safe, and accepted."Practical Parenting Tip: If your child pushes you away, don't force connection.

"Every small shift you make has a ripple effect on your child's well-being."Pam King's Key TakeawaysWe're inherently wired for connection, and our brains store all of our relational history.Rupture is inevitable, but our capacity for repair can strengthen our bonds with each other when we make the effort to reconnect.Thriving involves and integrates all our most intense emotions. We get closer to thriving when we can learn to regulate and integrate our inner emotional experience.Attuning and paying attention to our nervous system is a core emotional and relational skill—and goes a long way in healthy, intimate relationships.We were all children once. We were all parented, for better or for worse.

Tracey Camilleri is the co-founder of the leadership and organisational development consultancy Thompson Harrison. In 2023, her book The Social Brain, co-authored with Samantha Rockey and Robin Dunbar was published to widespread acclaim. In this episode we hear from Tracey as she shares what she's learned about team dynamics and communicating within groups. As organisations across the board become ever more digitally enabled, location-agnostic and asynchronous, Cat learns about how to embrace human connection and build community for enhanced organisational outcomes Takeaways The leader's role is to create a thriving environment. Social interactions are essential for workplace efficiency. Small groups foster better relationships and performance. Communication is key to team coherence and success. Organisations need to prioritise social strategies. The health of small groups is crucial for innovation. Internal communicators are vital to organisational success. People's sense of belonging impacts their performance. Leadership should focus on relational aspects of work. Understanding team dynamics can enhance workplace culture. Tracey Camilleri Tracey Camilleri is the co-founder of Thompson Harrison, along with Sam Rockey and is an Associate Fellow at Oxford University's Saïd Business School (OSBS). At OSBS, she has designed and directed the flagship Oxford Strategic Leadership Programme (2012-2022) as well as bespoke senior development programmes. She is known for her innovative design approach, her focus on the dynamics and practice of successful groups and what it means to lead healthy, thriving organisations in a world increasingly dominated by process and machines. Earlier in her career she variously ran her own consulting company, WMC Communications, worked as an associate for the private investment bank, Allen and Company, as new business director for the publishing company, Marshall Cavendish, a teacher of English literature at St Paul's Girls' School, and as a research associate at Bain and Company. Her book, 'The Social Brain: The Psychology of Successful Groups', written in partnership with Sam Rockey and evolutionary psychologist, Professor Robin Dunbar, was published by Penguin Random House in Spring 2023.

We all want to work on teams that just click. But you have also worked in dysfunctional ones. Prof Robin Dunbar has devoted his career to studying why teams work and he is the father of the Dunbar number, which observes that humans can only make meaningful connections with 150 other people. He also found that team dynamics change when you go from team sizes of 5 to 15 to 50 to 150. I don't know if Jeff Bezos had the Dunbar number in mind when he said that teams in Amazon had grown too large when they could not be fed with just one pizza. Join us to learn how you can create and lead better teams.

The anthropologist and evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar is Emeritus Professor of evolutionary psychology at Oxford University. He's also part of a small club of academics whose work has become part of the modern public discourse as the thinker behind Dunbar's Number, the idea that humans can only meaningfully maintain around 150 social relationships at a time. In the social media and hybrid working age, his work has helped us better understand how our friendships and online networks operate. His latest book, co-authored with Oxford University colleagues Samantha Rockey and Tracey Camilleri from the Saïd Business School, is The Social Brain: the Psychology of Successful Groups. The book explores how we can apply our scientific knowledge of how people form and maintain relationships to build better, happier and more creative teams. It argues that rather than being simply nice-to-have, prioritising social activities and social spaces in the workplace is essential. Joining Dunbar to discuss it is Sophie McBain, who is a contributing editor at New Statesman magazine and writes about books and ideas for The Guardian and The Sunday Times.

Time is a limited resource and, in some ways, it's our only resource in life. But what is time and why does it seem to flow at the rate it does? Why is it that our subjective sense of time can change so dramatically depending on the situation and our state of mind? How does the brain measure and experience time? In this episode, we will explore these questions from a neuroscientific angle and come to some mind-boggling conclusions both about the nature of time and how our brains work.
Dr Nigel Paine and Martin Couzins review the book The Social Brain - The Psychology of Successful Groups.
Right now, you are in possession of the most complex thing in the known universe: Your brain. The question is, how could this amazingly advanced biological computer have come about through natural forces? In this episode of The Social Brain, we're traveling hundreds of millions of years into the past to answer that question. We'll describe in broad strokes the evolution of single celled organisms all the way to the most intelligent creatures on the planet.
Do you want to create a successful team? Then you should start a workplace choir, share a spicy group meal before a difficult meeting and take up pickleball. These are some of the tricks proposed by the guests on this episode of Management Today's Leadership Lessons. Robin Dunbar, University of Oxford's emeritus professor of evolutionary psychology, and the co-founders of leadership development consultancy Thompson Harrison Tracey Camilleri and Samantha Rockey have written a book called The Social Brain, which delves into the psychology of successful groups. In this episode, Dunbar explains his high-profile research on the impact of group size on human brains. His famous ‘Dunbar's Number' theory argues that humans can only manage a maximum of 150 relationships. He has also identified a series of smaller layers in social networks that will make you look at team dynamics differently. Rockey, who was the global head of leadership development at FTSE 100 company SABMiller (now AB InBev), translates his research into a business context, with clear implications for leaders.

Today my guest is Dr Joanne Casey, a Research Practitioner and Author. In this episode, Joanne reflects on her experiences as a classroom teacher working in three sectors of education - Government, Catholic and Independent - and trying to make sense of the decisions being made in schools, and their potential impact on students. We also explore Joanne's further professional work and her PhD based around classroom teaching, leadership and teacher professional learning. In her research, Joanne made use of the collective wisdom found in schools as she talked to teachers and leaders and collected evidence of teachers connecting and collaborating with colleagues and students. The research uncovered a range of similar issues across various school contexts: a lack of time, ever-increasing complexity of tasks, and teachers generally feeling undervalued and overwhelmed. Her findings led to the recently published book, “Leading with the Social Brain in Mind: Cognition, Complexity and Collaboration in Schools”. Joanne shares insights into the cognitive load of both teachers and school leaders in their day-to-day tasks and how this often relates to time, place, and space within a school workday. We chat about current school organisational structures that might be based on outdated models, and what some leaders ask of teachers not always being reasonable. We also explore silos, that is, a psychological workplace construct that usually ends up blocking communication and stops getting things done. With an acknowledgment that relationships are at the heart of schools, Joanne offers some research-informed practical strategies to better navigate these complex systems in order to support change and improvement in schools.

Are they the same or [do they] operate differently?Can you discuss the interplay between the desire circuitry and pleasure circuits, is there an overlap? Could you discuss the nuclei? What circuits act in opposition to these circuits?About to go on a 10-day vipassana meditation silent retreat. Was wondering what the likely effects are of spending 10 days meditating / making the most of it?Why do I have intrusive thoughts?Where in the brain would you go on the magic school bus and why?What are some resources for learning about neuroscience?
Trans2 Performance consultants James Cooper and Bernice Casserley explore the three fundamental components of the social brain - the frontal lobe, the limbic system, and the parietal lobe. Discover how these elements work in harmony, giving rise to emotions, instincts, and the foundation of human connections. Throughout the episode, they share real-life examples and relatable scenarios, shedding light on the mechanisms behind our emotional responses and decision-making processes. They emphasise the significance of understanding the chimp paradox, that inherent emotional side within each of us, and the importance of managing it to foster healthier relationships. So, if you're curious about the fascinating intricacies of human behaviour and wish to uncover the secrets of the social brain, this episode is a must-listen! **Connect with Trans2 Performance on all social media platforms to explore more fascinating discussions:**

On this Live Show Beg-a-Thon, recorded on May 17, we discuss the pop culture phenomenon and appeal of pseudoarchaeology in its many forms, from fraudulent alternative history books like Erich von Däniken's 1968 book, Chariots of the Gods? Unsolved Mysteries of the Past, to television series like "Ancient Aliens" and "Ancient Apocalypse." Alongside guest Dr. David S. Anderson, we discuss how phony "what if?" theories often go beyond the goofy, guilty pleasure premises of extraterrestrial visitors and lost civilizations to promote Eurocentric, racist pap and a mindless distrust of "the scientific establishment" in the stupidest and least productive way possible.
OUTWEIGH: I believe that I can tell a lot about a woman's emotional health based on how much time she spends on social media. I know that might sound a little bit weird, but social media has a bigger impact on your mind, brain, self-esteem, and self-image than you might think. And THAT is the elephant in the room that I bring up on today's podcast: Facebook and Instagram and other forms of social media (if you allow it) can be used as powerful tools to connect, share parts of your life, and keep your finger on the pulse of the lives of people that matter to you. But if you're not careful, they can easily become a weapon of comparison-itus, unattainable standards, isolation, and loneliness. On top of that though, for people out there that ALREADY struggle with self-esteem, body image, or self-worth, I believe it can be even MORE dangerous. And that's why I felt called to simply have a conversation about it and take a look at how it is TRULY impacting us. In this episode of Outweigh, I teach you some valuable distinctions that will help you discover if you are the one influencing it, or if it is the one controlling you. I even give you an action plan on how you can take back ownership of your Social Brain and how to ensure that you have a healthy ‘relationship' with social media. ====== Link Mentioned: Watch the Stressless Eating Webinar where Leanne walks you through her exact 5 Step Game Plan her clients use to heal themselves from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting themselves, punishing their bodies, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn)

Abstract: Mammalian social behavior is highly context-sensitive. Yet, nothing is known about the mechanisms that modulate social behavior according to its context. Recent studies have revealed a network of mostly limbic brain regions, here termed the "social brain", which regulates social behavior. We hypothesized that coherent theta and gamma rhythms couple regions of the social brain into functional networks in a context-dependent manner. To test this concept, we simultaneously recorded extracellular activity from multiple social brain regions in mice performing three social discrimination tasks. Local field potential rhythmicity during a task was mainly sensitive to an internal arousal state. However, during stimulus investigation we observed a distinct state, which was sensitive to stimulus characteristics. Yet, the coherence between the various regions was most sensitive to the social context. Moreover, we found the ventral dentate gyrus to play a pivotal role in coordinating the context-specific rhythmic activity in the network. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Are there forces at work that might impact the way work feels? Could we use those forces to make work better?This discussion with Robin Dunbar and Tracey Camilleri took me to places I hadn't expected to go. That hormones, our brains and time would play a part in the relationships we forge at work isn't something that you would expect to find in a company's culture document, but as you'll hear today they forge a vital component of better team work.Hormones are triggered by emotional interactions with other humans. Uniquely they only tend to work face-to-face. Hormones can help us build affinity with others in a powerful way that is often overlooked.Brain-size impacts the connections we have with those people. At the core of human experience is our closest one (or two) relationships. There's a small circle of 4 or 5 people who sit at the heart of our lives, and up to 15 who make up the majority of our time.And that time is critical for the strength of those connections. We spent 40% of our time with our 5 closest relationships, and 60% with the top 15. By spending time we can become close friends with people in our lives.The Social Brain by Tracey Camilleri, Samantha Rockey and Robin Dunbar is out now. Hosted on Acast.

This week, Claire chatted to Emily S. Cross from the University of Glasgow and Western Sydney University all about neuroscience, social learning, and human-robot interaction. Emily S. Cross is a Professor of Social Robotics at the University of Glasgow, and a Professor of Human Neuroscience at the MARCS Institute at Western Sydney University. Using interactive learning tasks, brain scanning, and dance, acrobatics and robots, she and her Social Brain in Action Laboratory team explore how we learn by watching others throughout the lifespan, how action experts' brains enable them to perform physical skills so exquisitely, and the social influences that shape human-robot interaction.
This week I chat to internationally recognised educational leader and consultant Dr Arini Verwer. Dr Arini developed the groundbreaking and life changing Arini method, listen as we chat about 'the social brain' and how harnessing the tool of perception allows us to access our own personal instruction manual. This is a fascinating deep dive into the difference between our thinking brain and our emotional brain!In this episode you'll hear about:- What make up the three parts of our being- Why knowing how you perceive the world can help you deal with your irritants- The different types we dominantly process information and why it is important to understand what way you're missing- The physical gestures that tell us how someone else perceives the world- How understanding someone's perception can help you have a more successful and mutually respectful relationship with them... and so much more!Continue the conversation here:https://www.instagram.com/quintessentialbeingbynikki/https://www.facebook.com/quintessentialbeingbynikkihttps://www.quintessentialbeing.com/Find Dr Arini Verwer here:3 secrets to understanding people - YT Videohttp://www.relationshipinfinity.com/Parenting Program on the social brain
In this short podcast, Reima Shakeir reflects on the current state of belonging and inclusion in business and academia. Reima sees a shared sense of belonging as the hallmark of advanced societies and communities - and the key to employee retention and happiness. As she says, "People want to be heard and to be seen - and that's it." She reflects on systems that are still nonetheless designed for exclusion and on those that exclude due to institutional carelessness or lack of awareness on the part of the leadership. In this conversation, we explore what's working, why and where there is pushback. What are some of the simple things that organisations are doing that make a difference? Reima reflects on the fear of getting things wrong, especially when it comes to language and the need to gather hard data to support changes in the system. Finally, she sees real-world person-to-person connection as the new frontier for great organisations – and brands - where the creation of a sense of belonging makes perfect commercial sense as well. Reima Shakeir is a lecturer at Wharton School of Business and Stern School of Business. Dr. Shakeir teaches Organizational Communication and Business and Society courses at NYU's Stern School of Business. She also teaches research methodologies as part of the CLO (Chief Learning Officer) executive doctorate program at the University of Pennsylvania. Reima is also a Lecturer at Wharton and a partner at DEI Ready. Research Interests include: Impact Entrepreneurship and Inclusive Economy, Authentic Leadership, Diversity in the Business World, Equity in Higher Education, Impact Investing, Women and Identity Performance in the Public Space, Minority Women's Lived Experiences in the Corporate World, Gender Studies, and Organizational Sociology.

We all know the feeling of being in sync with one another or feeling like we're understood by those around us. Is there something actually going on in our brains during these moments? Do our brains get in sync with one another and get "on the same wavelength"? Does the strength of our social relationships affect this whole process? We'll dig into all of this and so much more in this episode of The Social Brain! Sorry in advance for the sound quality.. there were technical issues during the live cast.

Autistic people often struggle with initiating, maintaining, and understanding social interactions. Social neuroscience is the study of the parts of the brain that support social interactions or the “social brain.” This module provides an overview of ASD and focuses on understanding how social brain dysfunction leads to ASD. Our increasing understanding of the social brain and its differences in ASD will allow us to better identify the genes that cause ASD and will help us to create and pick out treatments to better match individuals. Because social brain systems emerge in infancy, social neuroscience can help us to figure out how to diagnose ASD even before the symptoms of ASD are clearly present. This is a hopeful time because social brain systems remain malleable well into adulthood and thus open to creative new interventions that are informed by state-of-the-art science. This episode will help you: - Know the basic symptoms of ASD. - Distinguish components of the social brain and understand their differences in ASD. - Appreciate how social neuroscience may facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of ASD.

Without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. If we look even more deeply, we can see the sunshine, the logger who cut the tree, the wheat that became his bread, and the logger's father and mother. Without all of these things, this sheet of paper cannot exist. In fact, we cannot point to one thing that is not here—time, space, the earth, the rain, the minerals in the soil, the sunshine, the cloud, the river, the heat, the mind. Everything co-exists with this sheet of paper. So we can say that the cloud and the paper ‘inter-are.' We cannot just be by ourselves alone; we have to inter-be with every other thing.”
Plantation rum is a staple at most craft cocktail bars. The rum itself is very good and which makes it easy to most bar owners and bartenders to give it a pass. The owner himself has made it a point to be involved in the bartending community through education and support of creative cocktail programs. Even the co-creator of some of the products line is someone dedicated to the improvement of the craft of bartending and its traditions. However, to me the name is at least problematic and at most it romanticizes, supports and characterizes a culture of oppression. One reason we continue to struggle with issues of oppression based on race is due to the distortion of history provided by products that depict it as benign. There is nothing benign about Plantations and there is nothing benign of implicit bias. Society just the same as any individual must face its worse sin before any amount of redemption is granted. The labor intensive cash crops of plantations were a place of rape, murder and oppression. Just as the confederate flag has been romanticized as a symbol of Southern culture so has plantations been romanticized as a beautiful place to live. The chemistry of our brain is a vast trove of mystery that we have to accept. That said, there are things we do know about what makes us healthy and how to stimulate those involuntary reactions for our benefit. Isolation can be horrible for our mental health and our bodies. Again, there are things you can do to reverse those effects. The Civil Rights Movement occurred over the span of more than a decade. A decade of sacrifice and suffering by everyone that believed in equal rights or those who believed that the abuse imposed on our black brethren was unjust. That fire started with the murder of Emmit Till (August 1955) and took a massive organized manifestation with the Bus Boycott in Montgomery, AL (Dec 5,1955-Dec 20,1956).
