From how stress reshapes the prefrontal cortex to how social media exploits dopamine, this talk exposes the hidden neuroscience behind modern life and argues that brain literacy should be as essential as math or reading. Because once you understand your brain, no one can ever take that power away Roshan Amurthur is a neuroscience researcher committed to making brain science accessible to all.
