Dive deep into the fascinating science of how our brain and body track time in this enlightening episode. Discover the pivotal roles of neurochemicals like dopamine and serotonin, along with hormones such as melatonin, in shaping our perception of time. The discussion covers the three dimensions of time perception—past, present, and future—and reveals how these neurochemicals influence both the perceived speed of time's passage and our memory of past experiences. Learn about circannual and circadian entrainment, the subconscious processes aligning us with seasons and daily 24-hour cycles, and their mechanisms. Furthermore, explore ultradian (90-minute) rhythms that dictate focus and productivity.
