Your Brain on Media Violence

How do the media influence brain development, and should we be concerned about the heavy diet of violence in the media? In this workshop, we'll examine the scientific literature to understand not only what the effects can be, both positive and negative, but also how they have those effects. We will also address how parents and caregivers have the power to enhance the benefits while minimizing the potential harms.
