Course Description:
The health benefits of nature range from decreased depression and anxiety, increased creativity, and improved cognition and emotional well-being. What do we know about the doses, the pathways and the mechanisms underlying these benefits? How can we make sure these benefits are available to everyone - people of all ages and abilities, and to people living in very different types of communities? How can you develop lifelong habits that improve your own brain health? We will explore the science in a range of assigned readings, discussions, and written analyses and reflection papers that will complement semester-long translational projects. |
