Seeing the light: beneficial impacts on neuroendocrine physiology?

May 26, 2021,
British Society for Neuroendocrinology Briefing 58 Dr Manuel Spitschan In addition to seeing the colourful and detailed world around us, light profoundly impacts our brains and bodies – exposure to light in the evening and at night suppresses the production of melatonin and disrupts our circadian rhythm, which can have negative consequences on physical and...

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis as a substrate for stress resilience: Interactions with the circadian clock.

December 22, 2019
Front Neuroendocrinol. 2019 Dec 18:100819. doi: 10.1016/j.yfrne.2019.100819. [Epub ahead of print] Abstract Stress, primarily processed via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, engages biological pathways throughout the brain and body which promote adaptation and survival to changing environmental demands. Adaptation to environmental challenges is compromised when these pathways are no longer functioning optimally. The physiological and behavioral mechanisms...

Microwave frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) produce widespread neuropsychiatric effects including depression

February 28, 2018
Martin L.Pall doi.org/10.1016/j.jchemneu.2015.08.001 Abstract Non-thermal microwave/lower frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) act via voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) activation. Calcium channel blockers block EMF effects and several types of additional evidence confirm this mechanism. Low intensity microwave EMFs have been proposed to produce neuropsychiatric effects, sometimes called microwave syndrome, and the focus of this review is whether...
