I learned that there are a lot of subdivisions of neuroscience. I knew there were quite a few but I was not prepared for the sheer magnitude of job options when you are a neuroscience.
There were definitely some areas of neuroscience that I haven’t even heard of and you can truly study just one part of the brain. Like auditory neuroscience and that’s it. Which is super cool! The brain is so under researched because of how complicated it is, there are new discoveries made everyday about the brain. It is so darn cool!
I am almost for sure not going to be job shadowing a neuroscientist so I’m not looking forward to anything in that regard. I don’t want to do anything at the veterinarian because I can’t see animals in pain I am not strong willed. Humans on the other hand I can handle (I don’t know what’s wrong with me). I’m not sure what I’ll do for job shadowing but down the road I’m hoping to learn more about brain injuries. I am very interested in those specifically and hopefully one day I’ll be able to find better ways of healing the brain. I also really want to do that thing where you touch a persons brain and they feel something on their leg or they smell something or they hear you say something. Brains are very complicated yet easily tricked.
