I got chills watching this. Seeing and hearing so many like-minded individuals talking about their passion for neuroscience felt very validating.
Right!
I like how this video is very simple and has many opinions included. It's very calming, easy to follow and enjoyable, thanks to the guys behind the video production. Tell them that they're really good with this, please!
Very kind! :)
I love the passion in this video. I love how genuine everyone and the responses are. You all are inspiring and science is lucky to have you. -Third yr Neuroscience Undergrad Student
At the age of 70, how or where do I start to seriously learn neuroscience? I love this video. Thank you so much.
I'm only a little over twenty years behind you 😊and I'm finding myself in the same situation as you are. I don't have a complete plan yet, but here's what I've done so far:
1. did a Google search for top colleges for neuroscience
2. decided to look in depth at the neuroscience curricula from Harvard, MIT, and Johns Hopkins University. According to usnews ranking, these colleges are in the top five US colleges for neuroscience. The other two are Stanford and US San Francisco.
3. started a list of courses I'm interested in. This is a work in progress. I currently only have about twenty courses on the list.
4. looked up the syllabi for those courses to see the recommended textbooks, recommended readings, and the kinds of assignments students needed to complete. I wasn't able to find all syllabi, but I looked up similar courses on edu sites (sites that end with the _edu_ extension) and was able to find textbooks and other useful information that way.
5. made a 4-year plan for myself and am currently studying Biology, Introduction to Psychology, Introduction to Neuroscience, and Calculus I. Well, I'm actually studying more than that, but that's because Neuroscience is only a part of a slightly bigger goal. 😊
I haven't yet found other people who are teaching themselves neuroscience, but that's because I haven't looked yet. I did find some channels I enjoy watching, such as Tina Huang, Andrew Dotson, and Dimitri Bianco. None of them are learning neuroscience but I like their mindsets and their work ethics. They have a traditional college education but they go way above and beyond that and teach themselves new things.
I hope this gives you some ideas for you own neuroscience learning plan. Best wishes to you. Your comment made me smile. I like the can-do attitude. ❤
@@BiancaAguglia thank you. I've looked I to neuroscience online courses through courses and education. The hbp human brain project website has some online courses which are quite interesting. I'm thinking of one of these. Also edx and coursra websites do as well.
Sorry about the typos. Have a new phone.
@@t13fox67 I've only spent a little time on the hbp site as of right now. My first impression was that it's a great resource for learning materials, datasets and neuroscience related news. I should be able to take a better look in the next few weeks.
If it's not too much trouble, maybe you can post updates on how your learning is going. It will most likely inspire others to learn on their own also or, at the very least, it will give others one of those feel good moments we usually experience when we read interesting stories of challenge and success. 😊
Books!
I needed this! I’m a clinical social worker/ psychotherapist! I’m considering my PhD in Neuroscience ❤️ I’m so nervous
I know it's 2 years later lol but don't be nervous! How is everything going for you if you don't mind me asking.
@@TotallyTootie definitely didn’t pursue it 🤣
@@niketapechan876 and that's perfectly okay! shoot, life be lifeing
Hey
I really love neuroscience. I am deeply fascinated by the fundamental questions. The only thing witholding me from choosing neuroscience is that I'm afraid i won't get tenure. Is there any possibility outside of academia where i can do basic research? And what is the chance of getting tenure as a neuroscientist?
Hey, don’t spend your entire life doing something you don’t like in the hope of getting time to do something you love. Find something you’d die for and do it while you’re alive.
hey four years later! did you figure it out?
He dropped out
There is so much passion in this video. I just so happened to want to study neuroscience, but I don't know what I could do with it. I love the saying, "each one teach one," so maybe I could teach neuroscience one day.
I’m considering doing this after my gcses and a levels, it seems really cool!
Good luck Sakura! You might be interested in our latest video, all about careers in neuroscience: ruclips.net/video/22wTaLje9ew/видео.html
Me too!
Thank you for this video :)
Very well done!
Thanks Bill!
wow so cool!
Hello! I am from Italy 🇮🇹 I studied Industrial Design as a bachelor degree but I’m starting to get deeply fascinated with neuroscience as I am developing a prototype of a helmet for sensory impulses detection for my thesis, working with a clinic that offers experimental approaches to therapy with new technologies on autistic children .
I am currently starting the process to apply to a Master’s degree in neuroscience, but I’m not sure I have the proper curriculum :/ . We definetly study chemistry and Phisics in Industrial Design but on a less deep level …
What should I do?
Wow, you are lucky to study neuroscience. Unfortunately, I can't study it, because there is no neuroscience course offered in the UAE.
Could you do an online course. Kings College London offer an amazing Neuroscience degree.
try searching in medical technology department.i am sure they will have neurophysiology or electrophsiology
Likewise, I'm from the Philippines and the universities here don't offer a Neuroscience program. That's why I shifted into Psychology.
Same in Egypt
@@zhraaashraf3131 Can you go to school for some other type of science major and learn neuroscience on your own? If you work on interesting projects and share your work, there's a high chance you'll meet other people in the neuroscience field, make connections, and find opportunities to work in or collaborate with neuroscience research labs or neuroscience-focused companies.
Where there's a will, there's (most of the time) a way. Best wishes to you. 😊
Ruby Wax and Dame Uta Frith had uttered the mericurious words that the same mother ship of mine has still been thinking about
23/9/2021 I'm watching this video to prepare my MASTER oral interview . wish me luck
Congratulations, hope you enjoy it! Now, it’s my turn to prepare 😅
It's a really nice
Neuroscience is amazing
It's also something that really really i am interested in i am noy graduating it
but I am reading Neuroscience book alot😀
I hope
That's great can you recommend me books for absolute beginners in neuroscience I tried to read neuroscience by dale purves but I felt like it was overwhelming for me and still wasn't my level even though it's supposed to be for beginners so I hope you can recommend me some clear and well explanatory books that I can enjoy
Hey guys Im currently a sophomore in high school. Currrently I only have background in computer science and don’t know if should switch to learning about bio/nuero ( not sure if it is too late now). Is there anything you guys may suggest doing /learning to see if I actually like the field or not ?
I'm in my 3rd year of my psych bachelor and Neuroscience is going to be my master, hopefully I get a scholarship to enroll on a university. I can't wait for that moment.
How’s it going?
the opportunity to take neuroscience here in the philippines is so low sad :(
hey so im doing bachelor in medicine and surgery but im really fascinated in neuroscience and neurotechnology so how do i go about it
Hi Gathungu, our latest video about careers in neuroscience should be helpful - see ruclips.net/video/22wTaLje9ew/видео.html. Good luck!
Hello I am currently an undergraduate student taking bachelor of science molecular and cellular biology. can i take neuroscience as my master?I would like to understand the effects of trauma on the nervous system and the brain .
Hello
I am interested about brain. If I study neuroscience in my bachelor can I be able to learn about brain disorders and its treatment. Hope to get reply soon
First of all it's better not to mix neuroscience with neurology and dear, bachelor's degree syllabus involves the study of mental disorders and treatments but it's different from neurology!
I honestly wanted to study Neuroscience here in the Philippines, but universities here don't offer that program, that's why I shifted into Psychology. Can I study the master's program in Neuroscience even though I took Psychology as my undergraduate?
Hi, it depends on the course content of your undergraduate psychology degree (whether it is more social psychology, biological psychology, or anything in between) and also the type of neuroscience Masters you'd like to pursue (e.g. cognitive neuroscience, molecular neuro, systems neuro, brain imaging, etc etc). In summary, when it comes to Masters degrees or any other postgraduate study, it's best to ask the specific course provider what you need, as they vary hugely from one course to another. Good luck!

Hello, thanks for replying, I am currently a Bachelor of Science in Psychology student, which focuses more on the neurobiological processes of the human brain. I truly want to take Medicine after I graduate but, I have decided to pursue a career in Neuroscience. Which is still okay; and in regards to my Masteral plans I still haven't decided in which branch should I take.
I am pursuing bachelors degree in Gmc Jammu
What are the job opportunities in neuroscience ??
Hi Kusum, check out our latest video about careers in neuroscience! ruclips.net/video/22wTaLje9ew/видео.html
I'm currently pursuing my bachelor's degree in chemistry , and I am very much interested in Neuroscience , can I persue msc in Neuroscience . And if yes, from where it is best ?
Hi Adeel, delighted to hear you're interested in neuroscience! Check out information about postgraduate neuroscience courses (including MSc) at www.bna.org.uk/careers/courses/#postgraduate-opportunities. The best place to do it depends on what you're interested in, where you want to go, who you'd like to study with and many other factors.
Good luck!
I am actually in the same position. I am not sure if you found this already but the university of Stockholm offers a Master's programme in Neurochemistry. Personally i think this is a really interesting way to use the chemical knowledge as a basis for neuroscience.
Oh my god, I'm exactly at the same position!! What happened? Can we have a talk on this?
@@CultOfCamus Hey! I'm an Indian basically. What would you suggest for me?
i want to go to uni in a few years and get an honours in neuroscience
what uni are you considering ? (I’m doing a lot of research in hopes of finding a valuable uni which offers this degree)
St Andrews!
Hi I'm from India and I have just passed out of my 12th grade and I have to apply for collegs I'm very much interested in neuroscience how can I pursue it as there is not much scope and educational support for neuroscience here
Bsc neuroscience technology
MSc in neuroscience (any major)
MPhil
PhD

Ruby Wax posing the argument that any other part is just a piece of meat is so so wrong in many ways 😭
I'm pursuing M.Tech with Neuroscience so what should I do next?
Hello sister,
I'm at grade 12 , what's your undergraduate degree?
Did it require maths?
Do help me, thanks in advance
@@balajir890 Namastey bro🙏 I was pursuing an integrated B.Tech.- M.Tech. degree and if you wanna be graduate with neuroscience then it doesn't required any mathematical subject or degree or anything else
@@PriyankaSingh-pc4uo where did you do your college studies sister?
Studies about neurological pain and DXM relief numbness very good medicine treatment ok my view of use medicine ok
You think I should go to med school and then work my way towards the top ? coz neuroscience major teaches you nothing special.
A neuroscience major is extremely useful in a lot of careers; it’s really fascinating if you have an interest in it.
