Welcome to Brain Observations (brainobservations.com), the podcast where we are curious about brain health, happiness and cultivating the mind. My name is Maria Sundell, I am a neurologist and with this podcast I hope to inspire you to learn more about your brain and to treat your mind with as much care as you treat your body. The brain is not only capable of change, it was built to change and you have more control over your life experience than you might think.
