What Makes You Interested in Neuroscience?

Hi everyone!

This group seems super quiet so I thought I'd post something! What makes everyone interested in Neuroscience? What made you choose Neuroscience/Psychological Sciences as a major?

Personally, I've loved Psychology since I was 13/14, and studying Neuroscience is my version of a "religious practice" I guess? Rather than tying events in my life to a religious/spirituality practice, I always look towards Psychology for answers (my life, my friends, my family, and society as a whole). I could go on about it forever, but I'd rather hear about everyone else!

Let me know what you guys think ◡̈ !

I want to study psychology because I wanna help people with their mental health! Mines probably not really good because I’m growing up in a family that doesn’t know what that word is or just ignores it in a whole :) I live in the Bible Belt hehe :(( I’m 13 and I hope my dumb self can actually get me to college to get a scholarship and degree! I’m poor :)

Just like you, I knew since I was 13 that I wanted to study Psychology (I´m studying it in college rn). I just love how the brains works so perfectly and wisely, it´s impossible for me not to be attracted to that. My favorites areas are Behaviorism, experimentalism and neuroscience.

I actually didn't think much about it until I was looking for what to do in university. I was looking for what medical paths I thought would best suit me and I thought psychiatry would be a good fit. Once I made that decision though I became very interested, which is nice because I didn't know I would be into it. I've always loved philosophy and spirituality and I think psychology and the science of the mind closely ties into those things!
