Not only do nerve impulses from the brain affect human behavior, but evidence suggests how practice and treatment can change connections in the nervous system. Eye contact and oxytocin hormone, anxiety-related signals from the prefrontal lobe, PTSD, the default state, and cellphone effects are some of the areas explored. Brain scans and cognitive-behavioral therapy are at the leading edge of these advances. Eye contact and oxytocin hormone, anxiety-related signals from the prefrontal lobe, and the effects of cellphones are only some of the areas explored. These stories describe how neuroscience can advance our understanding and treatment of problems such as social anxiety, autistic spectrum disorder, PTSD, and depression, and how resilience, technology, and treatment can affect people who face these and other challenges.
