Hello, I am a current senior undergrad (Neuroscience B.S.) who is taking a gap year before applying to PhD programs. I plan to do lab research or a research post-bacc program during my gap year to get more research experience. This past summer, I had a patient safety/epidemiology focused big pharma internship and really enjoyed working at that company, but realized that almost all people at senior levels on the more science side had a PhD (or an MD). Are there any PhD programs in neuroscience that are kind of integrated with industry or pharma? I've seen industry PhDs mentioned for other fields on reddit, but if there are any for neuro or anyone has any advice on how to best tailor my PhD experience/school search to working in industry or pharma afterwards, I'd appreciate some advice. Thanks!

hi all, i’m 26 and seriously considering applying for a phd in neuroscience (behavioural branch, sometimes called experimental psychology in some unis). i have a ba in liberal arts & human sciences and a ma in cultural studies and media.

am i qualified to apply, although i know these are not directly linked there is definitely an aspect of behavioural studies to my academic background, just more macro - society-level lenses than micro (focusing on individuals)?

neuroscience is my absolute passion, i’ve read a lot in my own time and i just think it’s my ultimate vocation to move towards that. thanks so much in advance!

For context I've already read the Power of your Subconscious Mind by Murphy and currently I'm on the Silva Mind Control.

Basically what it says in the title. Based on the literature, is the idea of reduced neuroplasticity with age based on correlational studies (thus allowing exceptions), or does it have a mechanistic underpinning that makes it so that it is true for every human in existence?

For instance, if one considers an autistic savant or someone similarly exceptional, does the existing literature fully support that their neuroplasticity is less than it would have been at a younger age, bar none?

I have watched mike x cohen course and tried to follow tutorial and use Chatgpt
but still feel loss

is there another tutorial or community for ppl who are learning how to use it

can anybody help me decide a career path I should follow based on my interests? I’m about to go to college and I want to prioritize my time doing something that will help my career goals.

interests: human anatomy, psychiatric disorders, helping people. example: schizophrenia, alzheimer’s, addiction, mental health disorders

not as interested: MS, tumors, parkinson’s, spinal disorders

Psychiatric disorders are caused by neurological issues and most medication used for neurological illnesses is also used for psychiatric illnesses so why do we need a whole different speciality to treat them? I feel like making psychiatric problems a whole new category actually stigmatizes the mentally ill because people who aren't particularly educated think mental illness is not real illness and that it's all in your imagination and you can just snap out of it. I know there aren't really any biological markers and the chemical imbalance theory is not particularly valid but since medication helps that alone should mean that there's something wrong with the brain and mental illness is actually physical illness.

Hi, I’m about to finish my Neuroscience BSc and i’m looking at postgrad options.

I want to work in research in the future and plan to do a masters as a stepping stone between undergrad and PhD.

My question is what is the better option, MSc neuro or MRes? I know the biggest difference between the 2 are the weighting of research v teaching but is there anything else i should consider? (I’m from the UK btw :))

In neuroscience literature on human vision, what is the phenomena called where some random dots are moved coherently and we believe we are seeing an object in front of a background {sic}?

In 2004 conference, Cristoph Koch showed an animation of this on an overhead. The following video relies on this effect in our vision. While each individual frame contains no object, the frames shown in successive order suggest that "objects" exist in the noise and are rotating.

What is this effect called by vision researchers?

The blue field entoptic phenomenon is an entoptic phenomenon characterized by the appearance of tiny bright dots (nicknamed blue-sky sprites) moving quickly along undulating pathways in the visual field, especially when looking into bright blue light such as the sky. But for me the dots are visible all the time and has been their since the onset of my eye floaters. Does anyone have the same thing?

I was reading that the left side is more associated with emotions like anger, happiness while the right side is more to do with fear

Hiiii !! Sry to bother 🥲 im a clinical medicine student in china but really interested in neuroimmunology. And i kind of want to choice it for my phd study in the US or Canada or Singapore. However many people tell me that it’s a pretty difficult area and hard to find jobs. Thus, im very confused whether i should choose it as my phd direction 🥲 So i want to hear from you guys who are in this field:

1. what kind of thing you guys are doing everyday? Do you have enough free time to do what you like or hang out with friends?
2. Is it really that hard to get a job worldwide? And when i graduate, is it possible for me to work in pharmaceutical factory or i can only do the research work? And is it well-paid?
3. What’s the most important quality you guys think one should have in this area?
4. Do i need to code?

Thanks soooo much for your time reading!!! LOVE YOU ALL for your reply!!!🫶🫶

Hello everyone,

I'm currently a community college student in California. I have a background in computer science knowledge and student government. I'm interested in doing Autism/Neurodiversity research that aids in policy with computer science/tech. (I love politics, neuroscience, medicine, and computer science/tech). What majors should I do? (Planning undergraduate & graduate degrees) Thank You in Advance!

It's going to be a science fiction novel in a near-future technocratic dystopia with a protagonist (a professional poker player and cyber criminal) who goes to work at a corrupt corporation that is mining humans for their "precognitive abilities."

The protagonist will use different biohacks, smart drugs, biohacking tech, and lifehacks to navigate challenges and progress through the "hero's journey." Other themes will include...

• Tech Addiction
• Philosophy - The Free Will Question
• Transhumanism
• Seduction - The story will feature a love triangle between the protagonist and two beautiful Colombian sisters (I lived in Colombia for a while so I can write this in a believable way!)

What Biohacks or neuroscience would you like to see featured in a novel? Am thankful for any creative suggestions of lesser-known/edgier hacks and happy to hook up anyone interested with advance copies of the novel...

Hi, I'm a 17-year-old student living in a third-world country. I've recently developed an interest in neuroscience and want to dive deeper into the subject, but I have no idea where to start. Could you recommend some beginner-friendly books, free online courses, or YouTube channels?

Also, should I learn coding if I want to pursue a major in neuroscience?

Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey! I'm currently a ninth grader with big dreams of becoming a neurosurgeon in the future. I'm excited to dedicate my free time to a passion project that allows me to explore neuroscience in a creative way while also making a positive impact on others. I'd love some unique and doable ideas for a project that could not only help learn more but also inspire or benefit people. Thanks so much for your help! :D

What causes dendrites and axons to grow and make more connections to other neurons? Is there a specific kind of stimulus, or is it a chemical thing?

Hi,

I’m current a Psychology undergraduate student, I would like to study Neuroscience as my MSc after, but it seems that a masters isn’t necessary, and that a PhD is actually needed instead.

How does one go from a psychology Bsc, to a neuroscience PhD? Wouldn’t the neuroscience MSc allow me to be more ready to take on a PhD? Or does doing a masters and then a PhD seem like a decent plan as well?
