0:00Welcome to Huberman Lab Essentials, where we revisit past episodes for the most potent and actionable science-based tools for mental health, physical health, and performance.
0:11I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
0:17And now for my discussion with Dr.
0:19Casey Halpern.
0:20Casey, I should say, Dr.
0:22Halpern, welcome.
0:23Thank you.
0:24Great to be here.
0:24You're a neurosurgeon, which I consider the astronauts of neuroscience.
0:28For those that aren't familiar with the differences between neurosurgery, neurology, psychiatry, if you could just educate us a bit, what does a neurosurgeon do and how do you think about and conceptualize the brain?
0:40The scope of neurosurgery is quite broad.
0:42We take out brain tumors.
0:44We clip aneurysms in the brain.
0:46We take care of patients that have had traumatic brain injury, concussion, spine surgeries, 90% of what neurosurgeons do around the country, taking care of herniated discs and lumbar fusions.
0:59So the scope is the entire central nervous system, including the peripheral nervous system.
