Friendships are a primate speciality, and have evolved to buffer us against the stresses of living in large social groups. They have a bigger effect on our psychological health and wellbeing, as well as our physical health and wellbeing, than anything else. Friendships are, however, extremely expensive to create and to maintain, both in terms of their time cost and in terms of their underpinning neurobiology. In this lecture, Ill explore the behavioural, cognitive and neurobiological bases of friendships, and show how we use these as a basis for forming mega-communities.
In this RCBB Research Talk Dr Kirsty Lu (University College London) will present her current research under the title "What can the 1946 British Birth Cohort teach us about ageing and preclinical dementia?".
We chat with Becca Hope and Julia Harrison about their experiences staying away from social media and discover their top tips on how to let go.
