From the community
From time to time we post information about and related to the field of Interpersonal Neurobiology: posts diving into relevant research and theory; stories and ideas about IPNB in action; updates on advisory-board and member books, educational offerings, and other events of interest; and visual art, poetry, and other ways of considering, exploring, and addressing our amazing minds and brains.
All GAINS members are welcome to submit potential contributions: original articles and essays, photography, poetry, art, or your own IPNB-relevant work published elsewhere. Submissions must be ready for publication and are reviewed by the GAINS blog team. Non-members are welcome to inquire about a guest post. Get in touch to submit →
