1. Students majoring in Neuroscience & Cognitive Science learn the physiological and cognitive qualities of the brain and its mechanisms, comprehension of behaviors and environments from a physiological and cognitive perspective, and other various facets of the intricate human nervous system.
2. People who get degrees in the field tend to pursue health-care related endeavors as well as vocational duties as teachers, professors, researchers, laboratory technicians, policy-developers, and non-profit organizers.
3. What drew me to the field of Neuroscience & Cognitive Science is its relative newness to the scientific playing field. The brain is undoubtedly the most undiscovered anatomical part of the human body and it has been said 90% of what is to be discovered in the field has not. This opportunity for breakthrough, educational discovery, and pure curiosity is what drew me to the field.
4. The three most exciting people in recent memory within the neuroscience discipline are Dr. Bennett Omalu, Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, and Dr. Fred Gage. Dr. Bennett Omalu was the leader of push against the National Football League to acknowledge the detriment of concussions in the NFL. Also in the sports field, Dr. Miguel Nicolelis made it possible for a quadriplegic teen to kick the opening kickoff at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
