This is your brain on Christmas. Hop on this wild neurochemical sleigh ride through the brain. Learn why Christmas feels the way it does and how things like serotonin and dopamine affect and explain your behavior during the holidays. More importantly, learn how to optimize these happy neurochemicals so that you can ensure that you will indeed have a very merry Christmas. Life is a constant battle between connection and solitude, a see-saw between having and wanting, being and becoming, present and future, safety and danger. This episode explores such themes through the lens of neurobiology, culture, and psychology.
