In The Grieving Brain, University of Arizona neuroscientist and psychologist Mary-Frances O’Connor, PhD, gives us a fascinating new window into one of the hallmark experiences of being human.
O’Connor has devoted decades to researching the effects of grief on the brain, and in this book, she makes cutting-edge neuroscience accessible through her contagious enthusiasm, and guides us through how we encode love and grief. With love, our neurons help us form attachments to others; but, with loss, our brain must come to terms with where our loved ones went, or how to imagine a future that encompasses their absence.
Based on O’Connor’s own trailblazing neuroimaging work, research in the field, and her real-life stories, The Grieving Brain does what the best popular science books do, combining storytelling, accessible science, and practical knowledge that will help us better understand what happens when we grieve and how to navigate loss with more ease and grace.
We invite you to join Dr. O'Connor, the College of Science, and the Department of Psychology for a special presentation on Thursday, November 17, 2022, at Saddlebrooke DesertView Theater (39900 S. Clubhouse Drive, Tucson, AZ 85739) at 6:30 p.m. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Please RSVP here to let us know you're attending. Feel free to bring guests!
