Photoendocrinology. How natural & artificial light is impacting human’s endocrine system & hormones on Vimeo
This presentation was delivered last week (14.10.2016) during the LightSymposium 2016 in Wismar, Germany. I tried to provide an insight into the complicated neuroendocrine mechanisms which are mainly controlled by light. Again, it started with a short introduction explaining the (chemical) evolution on planet earth. The three main chapters concern biochemical, anatomical and functional photoendocrinology in animal and man, based on the fundamental work of Prof. Fritz Hollwich. The end of the presentation challenges the contemporary concept of „Human Centric Lighting“.
