3 Epic Neuroscience Things, Pt. 2

Another selection of the coolest, most mind-blowing things I’ve come across whilst studying neuroscience

At the time of writing, I’ve been studying postgraduate neuroscience at King’s College London for 7 months.

If you haven’t already, you can check out the previous article where I introduce the ongoing series below:

3 Epic Neuroscience Things, Pt. 1

So far, we’ve touched on the following epic concepts in neuroscience:

• Cerebral organoids/iPSCs
• Alien hand syndrome/Confabulation
• Activation of place cells to “teleport” consciousness

Since the first article, my work has shifted to techniques in neuroscience, which has introduced me to a whole new realm of fascinating methodology in research. I’ve found myself writing about fMRI, immunohistochemistry, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and electrophysiology amongst other things.

As a field, neuroscience is at the frontier of science with a range of exciting…
