Neuroscience & Mental Wellness Library
An educational library on the brain science behind mental wellness - plasticity, the default mode network, the stress system, inflammation, sleep, exercise, regulation, and trauma.
How the brain reorganizes structure and function in response to experience, learning, and intervention - and where ketamine fits in.
The brain network most active when we are thinking about ourselves - and why its activity matters in depression and ketamine therapy.
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is the body's central stress response system - and chronic activation has measurable effects on brain and mood.
A meaningful subset of depression is associated with elevated inflammatory markers - changing how we think about mechanism and treatment.
Sleep is one of the highest-leverage inputs to mood, cognition, and emotional regulation - and one of the first things disrupted in mental illness.
Regular physical activity is one of the most robust non-pharmacological supports for mental wellness.
The autonomic nervous system shapes how safe, available, and present we feel - and there are evidence-supported ways to influence it.
How traumatic experience is stored, why it is hard to think one's way out, and what kinds of treatments tend to help.
