| dc.description.abstract | The role of stress in the brain has been an intense topic of debate in the 21st century due to the spike in societal pressure, depression and anxiety globally. As our lives become busier and more stressed, it is vital that we stop to look at how this effects both our epigenetic profile and our brain functioning. When we understand this we are able to make key lifestyle and medical changes in order to prevent effects such as early onset Alzheimer's, cancer, auto-immune disorders, etc. One of the most significant factors that counteract chronic stress is social interaction and community. Emphasising this in a world that seems to increasingly move away from traditional community structures is pivotal in reviving the stressed, chronically depressed, and exhausted. | en_US |

- The role of stress in the brain has been an intense topic of debate in the 21st century due to the spike in societal pressure, depression and anxiety globally. As our lives become busier and more stressed, it is vital that we stop to look at how this effects both our epigenetic profile and our brain functioning. When we understand this we are able to make key lifestyle and medical changes in order to prevent effects such as early onset Alzheimer's, cancer, auto-immune disorders, etc. One of the most significant factors that counteract chronic stress is social interaction and community. Emphasising this in a world that seems to increasingly move away from traditional community structures is pivotal in reviving the stressed, chronically depressed, and exhausted.
