Secret Science Club: Brain Lecture with Neuroscientist Nim Tottenham

At the next Secret Science Club, neuroscientist Nim Tottenham explores human brain development and its relationship to emotional behavior, stress, and well-being. She asks:

–How are early-life experiences linked to emotional functioning in adulthood? Why do some early experiences matter so much?

–How is brain development affected by relationships with parents and primary caregivers.

–Can childhood stress rewire our brains?

–How does brain plasticity in childhood relate to psychological resilience and vulnerability?

Nim Tottenham is a neuroscientist, professor of psychology, and director of the Developmental Affective Neuroscience Lab at Columbia University.
