Love Among the Neurons

 

How did the human race evolve from rather solitary predators into the intensely social creatures that we are now? Where in the brain can we find the roots of our multiple connections to each other, and how do those connections reverberate within and between us? Pascal famously wrote, "The heart has reasons that reason cannot comprehend." Today, Pascal would admit that very reasonable "comprehension" has been attained by modern psychology and neuroscience.


Join the Alameda Free Library and Wonderfest for another Social Science event, featuring speaker Dr. Thomas Lewis at 2:00 pm this Sunday, May 6.  Dr. Lewis is Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCSF and Professor at UCSF’s Fromm Institute.


This event will be held at the Main Library, 1550 Oak Street, Alameda. The event is free and open to everyone.
