Palabras clave:
narración, literatura, cerebro, saludResumen
La narración es parte central de nuestra esencia como seres humanos. Todas las culturas conocidas tienen historias que se divulgan de generación en generación, ya sea de forma oral o escrita, y son tan importantes que se ha propuesto que el origen del hombre moderno se encuentra en la transmisión de esas historias (Smith et al., 2017). La escritura facilitó la difusión de historias que se daban de forma oral, convirtiendo al libro en el objeto que permitió una de las revoluciones culturales más importantes de la humanidad.
