How Our Environments Shape Our Brains
Stress affects the brain structure in two ways. The first way is through actual inflammation. So many of us are living from our emotional brain, our amygdala,. Our hippocampus and all of those deeper centers as opposed to our prefrontal cortex. And I believe in the science of epigenetics, that our environments are always shaping ourselves down to our physiology.Our environment is shaping our DNA. Shaping our DNA and then shaping our systems, shaping how our brain looks and functions.
