- “To me, one of the most interesting things about the nervous system is our ability to orient in different time domains.“ by Andrew Huberman
- “If you want to offset seasonal depression, what you want to do is extend the amount of bright light that you're getting in the morning slightly as days get shorter.“ by Andrew Huberman
- “The idea that we would just train kids in math is just frightening, because if you want them to be truly good at math and science, you also have them play instruments.“ by Andrew Huberman
