The Symphony in Our Synapses: Unraveling the Impact of Constant Musical Engagement on the Brain
Dr. Huberman, your insightful exploration of neuroscience and its practical applications has been incredibly enlightening. I find myself immersed in music almost every moment of the day, to the extent that it shapes not only my waking life but also invades my sleep, often causing me to wake up with a song persistently playing in my mind. Given your expertise, I'm curious about the neurobiological underpinnings of this phenomenon. How does our brain process and retain music so powerfully that it can dominate our thought patterns, even in sleep? I would also be interested in understanding if this constant engagement with music influences our neural plasticity, emotional regulation, and cognitive functions over time. Could this intense and continuous auditory stimulation be cultivating unique neural pathways, enhancing our brain's architecture, or potentially overburdening it?
Supplement advice for recurrent malignant melanoma
Hello Dr. Huberman, I am 42 years old and otherwise healthy, active mom. I was diagnosed with my 1st malignant melanoma in August of 2020 and have been treated and under surveillance at City of Hope ever since. I have had multiple wide excisions of 3 other melanomas, sentinel node dissections, and another malignancy excised two days ago. With that, I am now developing basal cell carcinomas as well. I am awaiting genetic testing results at the request of my oncologist (due to my red hair, pale complexion, and Irish genealogy). I am not a sun worshiper and wear sunscreen all the time. My question to you is are there any supplements or is there any research that I can follow pertaining to supplements that may help decrease my melanoma proliferation? Thanks so much.
Fermented food causes gastric cancer?
Dr Huberman, I started eating fermented food based on the video with Dr Sonnenburg but recently I came across some studies stating that Koreans had greater risk of gastric cancer due to consumption of kimchi and pickled foods: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1592326/#:~:text=Besides%20H.,foods%2C%20including%20Kim%2Dchi. Please could you do a follow up video to look into the risks of cancer due to consuming fermented food. Thank you for helping us achieve better health !
