3 Epic Neuroscience Things, Pt. 1
A selection of the coolest, most mind-blowing things I’ve come across whilst studying neuroscience
Pun-intended. At the time of writing, I’ve been studying postgraduate neuroscience at King’s College London for 5 months.
When I started, it became clear pretty quickly that it was going to be more of a challenge than I had prepared for. It turns out an undergraduate degree in a political science doesn’t quite cut it as a primer for complex biology (who knew?), and studying whilst working full-time has meant that most of my research and writing happens after 8pm.
That being said, it has quickly become an obsession. Neuroscience? It’s epic.
The main appeal of neuroscience for me is that it is a frontier subject, with research trying to answer very complex and exciting questions about something that is otherwise full of uncertainty — the brain.
So, as I continue my journey, I’d like to share some of the most interesting things I’ve come across so far. My intention is that this will be an ongoing series, and I hope that you find it of interest too.
