Why the clocks changing is great for your brain
Light in the morning – more than any other time of day – leads to powerful brain-boosting effects, helping us to function as best we can, despite the approaching winter.
studied for my PhD at the Institute of Psychiatry in London and did post-doctoral studies at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, London.
I trained in neuropharmacology, physiology and psychology and like to work at the interface of these disciplines. For my PhD (Institute of Psychiatry, London) I investigated the function of brain dopamine receptors and during my post-doctoral studies (Royal Postgraduate Medical School) I developed an interest in the biochemistry of stress. In 1989 I joined the University of Westminster where I became a founder member of the interdisciplinary Psychophysiology and Stress Research Group ( PSRG).
