Join the Brain Research Foundation — the nation’s oldest neuroscience foundation — for our next Lunch & Learn webinar, featuring neuroscientist Ishmail Abdus-Saboor, Ph.D.
In this thought-provoking session, Dr. Abdus-Saboor will explore the remarkable science behind social touch — one of our most powerful and often overlooked senses. His lecture will reveal how physical contact acts as a fundamental biological bridge, connecting individuals and fostering a deep sense of belonging.
Dr. Abdus-Saboor will also examine the brain science behind why touch is such a vital tool for our well-being — from its ability to lower stress hormones and calm the nervous system, to its role in promoting emotional recovery and strengthening both mental and physical health.
Whether you are a healthcare professional, a caregiver, a researcher, or simply someone curious about the brain, this session offers accessible, cutting-edge insights you won’t want to miss.
