Today on the Huberman Lab Podcast, we're exploring the science of stress response and how it affects our nervous system. As a neuroscientist, I'll explain the key mechanisms that regulate our fight-or-flight response and provide science-based tools to manage stress effectively.

When we look at the neuroscience of learning, there's this fascinating interplay between attention and memory formation. Look, the fundamental layer is always going to be your behavioral protocols - things like sleep quality, light exposure, and when you're actually engaging with the material.

So have a great day. I will be having a very busy day today.

What's fascinating about exercise is how it affects our neurotransmitters. When we engage in physical activity, we see increases in dopamine, norepinephrine, and BDNF - brain-derived neurotrophic factor - which essentially helps our neurons grow and make new connections.

Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Andrew Huberman, professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. Today, I want to talk to you about something we all chase—but often misunderstand: Most people think motivation is a feeling. Something you wait for. But motivation is not something that simply arrives. It is something that is created. And more importantly—it is something that is sustained through very specific neurological processes that you can control.

When you begin to observe your thoughts, which create your emotions, which influence your behaviors, you're actually stepping out of the automatic program. That awareness alone begins to rewire your brain, creating new neural pathways that support a new way of being.

Let's talk about how temperature affects our biology. What's fascinating is that our body's response to cold exposure triggers several important chemical cascades. Most people don't realize that these responses actually influence our alertness and cognitive function throughout the day.

I'm absolutely fascinated by how temperature affects the way we experience flavor, and today we're exploring how simply warming certain foods, like cheese or chocolate, can release entirely new flavor compounds that transform our taste experience and enhance our enjoyment of these everyday ingredients.
