By Kathy Whelan  It’s not official yet, but summer as we usually think of it is over. For some of us, that feels sad. Biological reasons help explain this: With shorter days and cooler temperatures, we naturally generate less serotonin, the “happiness hormone.” Psychologically, as we see the end of summer activities and vacations and the beginning of a more rigorous schedule, our levels of dopamine, one of the feel-good hormones, can also decline. Socially, we might have to say goodbye to summer friends.

Written by: Claudia Haller NBC-HWC  Ever walk into a room and forget why you went in there? Or read the same paragraph three times before it finally sticks? We’ve all been there. While occasional brain fog or forgetfulness is perfectly normal, many people are starting to think more deeply (pun slightly intended) about their brain health.
