Lessons in resilience may be found in all walks of life— who knew some of the best would come from mouse behaviors? Dr. Scott Russo leads the Center for Affective Neuroscience and the Brain Body Research Center at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. On this special edition of Road to Resilience,  Dr. Russo explains how his team's studies of resilience in mice are instructive in how humans may navigate stress and trauma.

This episode is hosted by Jonathan Depierro, PhD, Associate Director of the Center for Stress, Resilience, and Personal Growth. Dr. Depierro is co-author of the third edition of the book Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life's Greatest Challenges.
