TITLE OF PIECE: 'Purple Still Life'
INSPIRATION FOR THE PIECE - ARTIST NEUROSCIENTIST MATCH UP:
Chris Cran with the Branch Out funded project of Andrei Nastase from the University of Calgary
'Difference of the Sexes: Endocannabinoids and Traumatic Memories'
In the research, one of Dr. Matt Hill's students examined how males and females differently processed trauma memories and how endocannabinoids are involved in those differences. Since PTSD is fundamentally about fear-based memories, neuroscientists have been investigating how the brain learns and forgets about scary memories. Understanding this could hold the key to helping people recover about their PTSD.
This piece represents the differences - how the expression of fear behaviours after their endocannabinoid levels were raised between males and females. The piece will look and feel differently when viewed up close than from a distance.
