<p>I stumbled across this article recently... Any feedback?? What do you guys think?</p>
<p>It just goes to show that just because someone thinks they’re “interested in the brain,” does not mean that Neuroscience is for them. You really have to ask yourself, “What about the brain / mind do I really care about?” And sometimes, you actually have to get to college and take a few courses before you realized that your specific goals and interests do not line up with those covered by the major. </p>
<p>Shining realized that she was more interested in learning about human nature, which is far too complex and influenced by a variety of factors to be reduced to a series of chemicals. Moreover, she wanted answers, and there is still so much we don’t know about the brain. </p>
<p>Whereas, if you want to learn about attention / learning / memory, Cognitive Science might be for you. Chemical processes and brain disorders, Neuroscience. Feelings, identity, and behavior, Psychology. And then if you have multiple interests, that’s where things like Cognitive Neuroscience, Biopsychology, etc. come in. Even if a school has few brain-related majors, you can supplement, for example, Neuro classes with Philosophy, Political Science, etc. to get a more interdisciplinary look at the topics that interest you instead of trying to make Neuro explain everything.</p>
