More DescriptionWe live in a time when the environment makes headlines, especially in association with global climate change and the potential human impact on the planet. It is remarkable that even now, with the environment becoming an important issue in world politics, we still do not really know how or to what extent our environment interacts with our brain and overall physiology. The environment is intricately and, from a research standpoint, hopelessly, multifactorial.
