CNI-X Mini-Series: Circadian Rhythms, with Dr. Jamie Zeitzer

The subject is Circadian Rhythms, and you’re going to be surprised at the influence this intricate interaction of body clocks exerts over our lives! The high school participants in Stanford Psychiatry’s two-week Clinical Neuroscience Immersion Experience (CNI-X) always are when they meet Dr. Jamie Zeitzer, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in the Division of Sleep Medicine. Dr. Zeitzer researches the mysteries of the system that drives almost every living thing on earth, and in humans impacts not just sleep, but everything from our temperature to the quality of our decision-making. As with all of the CNI-X presenters, Dr. Zeitzer’s research and discoveries make for an invaluable lesson in life and self-awareness, as well as science.
