How Loneliness Reshapes the Brain
Feelings of loneliness prompt changes in the brain that further isolate people from social contact.
"As the researchers described in 2019, in comparison to a control group, the socially isolated team lost volume in their prefrontal cortex — the region at the front of the brain, just behind the forehead, that is chiefly responsible for decision-making and problem-solving."

@corlin Isolation for those who rally against the fascist business model is that which is ironically projected by it. Divided it stands, united it falls.
"The state will give you spectacle after spectacle to keep you confused and helpless. They will tell you it is your fault. They will charge you for the technological gadgets that keep you quiescent, and running away from human mutual aid. They will pit men against women, blacks against hispanics, poor against rich, straight against queer. To segregate you into smaller and smaller affinity groups, thus easier for them to manipulate and disavow."

@corlin Well, glad I had my brain scanned recently. I might think my prefrontal cortex is gone.
