Description
In When We Touch, Professor Michael Banissy explores the remarkable science of tactile sensation and its profound impact on human health and connection. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience research, Banissy reveals why touch is far more than just a physical sensation—it is fundamental to our survival, emotional regulation, and social bonding.
From infancy through adulthood, touch influences our development, immune function, stress levels, and mental wellbeing. This illuminating book examines how different types of touch affect our brain chemistry, why physical connection matters in relationships, and what happens when we are deprived of it. Banissy’s accessible writing bridges the gap between complex neuroscience and everyday human experience, offering readers a new appreciation for one of our most underrated senses.
Perfect for anyone interested in science, psychology, health, or human connection, this essential read challenges modern assumptions about touch in an increasingly digital world.
