Recorded webinar -The science of mental health- by Dr. Camilla Nord

"The science of mental health" presented by Dr. Camilla Nord, University of Cambridge; Chaired by Dr. Elena Allegritti, University of L'Aquila.

How does the body affect our brain, and vice versa? Can exercise, psychedelics, or the gut biome improve your mental health? In this talk, Camilla Nord reframes mental health as an intricate, automated process that is different for all of us, relying on the way our bodily processes and our expectations of the world interact in our brains. She explains how our brain uses dopamine to learn what to expect, and how that can change the way we feel day to day. She looks at a variety of treatments, from therapy and medication to recreational drugs and electrical brain stimulation, to show how they work - and why they sometimes don't.
