Description

The video “How Friendship Affects Your Brain” by Shannon Odell explores the profound impact that friendships have on our brain development and overall well-being, especially during adolescence. Odell delves into how forming close, supportive relationships can enhance cognitive functions, emotional regulation, and even physical health. She discusses the role of oxytocin, the "bonding hormone," in strengthening social connections and its positive effects on mental health. The talk highlights the importance of nurturing friendships as a vital component of personal growth and resilience.
