Essentials: The Science & Process of Healing from Grief
"We essentially map our experience of people in 3 dimensions. They relate to space, where people are, time, when people are. And a dimension called closeness and how those 3 dimensions of space, time, and closeness are what establish very close bonds with people."
Andrew Huberman detailed neuroimaging research showing that a single brain region, the inferior parietal lobule, is activated when processing physical proximity, temporal spacing, and emotional closeness. This finding suggests all human attachments are neurologically encoded through these three interwoven dimensions, fundamentally changing how we understand bonding.
