Andrew D. Huberman is a renowned American neuroscientist and podcaster, currently serving as an associate professor of neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Throughout his illustrious career, Huberman has made significant contributions to various fields within neuroscience, publishing groundbreaking research as the lead or corresponding author.

His research has spanned diverse areas, including thermoregulation, circadian biology, brain development, neuroplasticity, genetic parsing of neural circuits, neural degeneration, neural regeneration, and the brain circuits underlying fear, confrontation, human anxiety, and stress modulation.

Welcome to our channel, where we dive deep into the fascinating world of neuroscience! In this video, we are joined by a leading expert in the field, who will unravel the intricacies of how our brain's neurons, specifically the Retinal Ganglion Cells, play a crucial role in regulating our circadian rhythms and overall health.

Our eyes are more than just windows to the world; they are part of a complex system within our brain. The Retinal Ganglion Cells, located in the retina, act as brain neurons, responsible for perceiving and communicating specific types of light to the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN), the central clock that governs our circadian rhythms.

The key to this system lies in receiving the right kind of light. When natural sunlight enters our eyes, it triggers an electrical signal to the SCN, which, in turn, synchronizes the clocks of all cells and organs in our body. Ensuring this proper timing of cortisol and melatonin is essential for maintaining cardiovascular health, preventing dementia, metabolic effects, and enhancing learning and mental well-being.

Join us as we explore the intricacies of how to anchor this system effectively. Learn why the quality and amount of light that comes from sunlight at a low solar angle are crucial for activating the Retinal Ganglion Cells optimally. Discover how watching the sunrise or getting outside to view sunlight within an hour or two of sunrise can positively impact our health by advancing the cortisol pulse and benefiting blood pressure and mental health.
