And the coolest part is that my ability to think this deeply comes straight from whatever is going on in my brain. My question is, is Neuroscience the right career for me? I'm just nervous about math because I am not good at math whatsoever. I have never even taken a statistics course yet. Any advice?

During high school I wasn’t very well behaved and I had absolutely no interest in school at all. It was only a few years after I left school that I started develop an interest in higher education but unfortunately I just don’t know if I am smart enough to study the things I am interested in. If I hadn’t missed so much school throughout my life, maybe I would have learnt and understood a lot more about the subjects I will need to understand to study neuroscience. My question is, is it possible for someone like me to ‘catch up’ with general education enough to be able to study something like neuroscience, or is it not worth it for me? I would hate to start working towards something like this only to realise after beginning a degree, I am way too dumb to be studying the subject.

I took AP psychology in 11th grade and took an intro psych class my freshman year of college. Neuroscience is more biology based and you're learning specifically about the nervous system. Neuroscience knowledge stems from experiments done on the nervous system using different stimuli as well as observations made on behavior. Psychology is more based on observational studies on human behavior. Psychology touches on the basics of the the nervous system like the parts of a neuron and the brain but that's as much as I remember it covered. For me an AP psych class was enough to get into a neuroscience major because I wanted to know the explanation behind the human behavior and how the nervous system functioned. I think it would be difficult to go through a neuroscience master program if you didn't take any upper level neuroscience courses in your undergraduate years. Also you can shadow neurologists regardless of your major if you have the connection. There is also clinical research instead of scientific research if you want to study cases with humans.

I would say to take neuroscience courses alongside your psych major. If your university doesn't have neuro classes then I would talk to your advisor about what's your best option and what are the requirements.

@Gurkenklemme9 ай бұрын
I am studying psychology and you can get into many neuroscience masters. A big part of psychology is Biopsychology. At least in my Country (Germany) you have to write tests in pharmacology, basics of medicine, neurophysiology, cognitive neuroscience and Biopsychology itself. Besides of course Statistics and planning scientific studys, which also is important for neuroscience. Therefore you can easily do a master in neuroscience, with a psychology bachelor. Actually here in Germany there are no neuroscience bachelor. So you can get into neuroscience by doing medicine, biology, computer science, math etc. Unfortunately I don't know how this is in your country, but generally neuroscience is a big part of psychology nowadays. Maybe look in other countries if that would be a possible option. Edit: I just saw this video and your post is 6 years old lol. What did you do know?
