So it makes you happier.

It makes you live longer.

And yes, loneliness on the flip side causes stress, long-term stress that damages the brain.

And yeah, in the long term can make it smaller and less healthy.

We have years of knowledge, but there is an enormous amount that we still don't know. There are brain areas we have no idea what they do. Every ping of the phone is anxiety producing, which then launches your stress response and that keeps us stressful for way too much of the day. So many people are appreciating at a higher level stress and anxiety and depression.

A little bit of that is actually good for the brain. You want to live a long, healthy, energized life. Start paying attention to all the things you need to do to make your brain work beautifully. It defines everything that we do and everything that we are.

Oh, thank you.

That is such a great question. We have hours and semesters and years of knowledge that we have gained about the brain since we've seriously been studying it. But there is an enormous amount that we still don't know. There are brain areas we have no idea what they do. My favorite is called the claustrum. Somebody asked me, what's the most mysterious brain area that you know, Wendy?

This is a brain area that connects to everything, cortically, subcortically. It should be integrating something critical. We have no idea what it does. We have little idea of how consciousness works. We know a lot about vision. So it is a beautiful bag of information and mystery that our brain represents.
