Two expert speakers will delve into how stress effects the functioning of our brains and the ways, good and bad, in which stress can alter our nervous systems.

Brains evolving under stress

Ursula Paredes-Esquivel (Lecturer in anthropology at UCL and an honorary lecturer in neuroscience at QMUL)
Stress is a transformative force, it can make us sick, change our behaviour, and modify how our brains work. But what if the daily commute, pollution, the traumatic life events, all which stress us, can also help us transform and evolve rapidly?

Enabling restoration of the post-pandemic brain

Robert Blakey (Lecturer in Mental Health)
The pandemic of COVID-19 has been followed by a series of global and local crises. The mental state, the ‘new normal’ in brain functioning, of the population experiencing these crises since the pandemic has been relatively unexamined as well as how we might seek to restore our collective cognitive health.
