So I've known I wanted to study neuroscience for a very long time; as a senior in high school everyone is asking what I plan to study and when I say behavioral and cognitive neuroscience that have literally have the reaction you said.
Hello there, it's been 6 years, how did things go?
I've always been interested in the way the brain works, unfortunaly my 18's was kind of a hurting time for me. I am now 27 with a bachelor's degree of design, I like to read a lot of neuroscience, it has become a really big hobby for me, thank you for your videos.
Its never too late man

I told my family Doctor that I was majoring in Neurobiology/neuroscience (same thing) and he said "Wow Man... That sounds hard". I said, are you trying to talk me out of it? lol, it was just surprising to hear from my Doctor. Good luck and I hope you're still in medical school.
When I tell my friends or family that I'm studying neuroscience they just ask what that is lol
Can that be a good major to pair with marketing?
@@raytas9140 Definitely
i’m going into my freshman year of college this fall and i’m going to be a neuroscience major, i’m so nervous but this video made me feel a bit better, so thank you :))
How did it go? I’m going for neuroscience next year
hi! how's it going now
Love seeing more representation of Bangladeshi Americans in medicine!! Thank you so much for your video. I am thinking about declaring a neuroscience major this semester. I would love to study medicine
hey congratulations & best wishes for ur upcoming medical journey!
hope u do the best!
You are too funny, very good video. Helped calm my nerves about college a bit.
Caitlin Lee haha thanks! I'm glad I could help! Wish you the best in your college education! :)
i never miss a video of yours even if u post months later. your videos are funny and informative.
This is very informational, thank you!
I love this video! Really enforced my interest in choosing Neuroscience as my major (i'm applying right now) and this was really funny! Actually laughed out loud... Definitely subscribed.
Hey... how did it go?
I plan on studying neuroscience at UT Dallas, too! I'm really excited and this video helped get a better idea of what to expect. Thank you!! :)
Omg me too I’m transferring there !
Congrats!!🎓🌹
I know this video is kind of old but I feel you on people's reactions to your major. I haven't even started college, and some people I know who are studying engineering and CS had the same reactions lol.
Thank you!! This video helped me a lot!!
Omg that's really good!!❤️❤️
Good job keep up the good work!!
Congratulations!
Inspiring vlog! Keep it up. Also, go NEUROSCIENCE!!!!
Congrats!
congratulation brooo for ur graduated...
loved it!
I’m a freshman in college major in neuroscience and I get those reactions anyway I needed that encouragement at the end cause general bio (yes general is kicking my butt) but I just have to study differently for this class
in which college you are studying neuroscience
@@HumaAbbasi-ee5cg I actually dont attend this college anymore and I can say is that it was in chicago.
More videos like this please!!!
I don’t know Why I keep coming back to this video.
Wow! Congrats :)
I’ll be starting college next year & im going to go on the pre-med track with a major in neuroscience. I am so excited and cannot wait‼️
Can you please aware me about, how to become a neuroscientist and how to start with it after 12 in pcb
Doing the same m8
1 year later have you started!
wait, how did you choose before finishing?
How much math did you take? I’ve been looking at different curriculums for NS and some of them require Calc 1, some calc 1 and 2, and I’ve seen a couple that require you to take through differential equations. I’m trying to decide whether I should major in Mechanical Engineering or NS.
Can you talk about some of the career opportunities with Neuroscience.
Asdullah Razzaq I mentioned some career options in this video. You can become a professor, neuroscientist, dentist, or medical doctor. You can also become a pharmacist or any other health profession. There are a lot of options for neuroscience majors.
Congratulations. Now that one year has passed, what field are you currently invested in? I was fortunate to have a doctor who is a neurologist. Dr. Rana specializes in Parkinson’s disease. The options are limitless with this field.
@@brandonn3543 i have some doubts in neuroscience
R HT there are nerves that connect to your teeth you know that right?
Brandon N starting my last year of medical school! I’ll be sure to announce what specialty I plan on going into!
Inspiring 😮😃
I've just submitted my application for Bsc neuroscience in uni of edinburgh
dude i who have a professional degree in Industrial Electric start love Neuroscience because i took the EAD course in harvard with Harvard X and my eyes shiny because i know basic physic things about Electricity and this made more easier for me. When i choose be a doc and follow this path thinking going to US etc I think is so cool you can pick whatever you want, is cool because psychology and neuroscience give knowledge to who choose this for be smart and more kind with paciente and this is amazing .
That's a really cool bed set. Anyway, I'm planning on going to grad school and want to major in neuro. Is it fine if I want to go into research instead of med school? Will I still find a decent job?
Thank you! Im ending my 2nd year and didn't know if I wanted to switch from MIMG to Neuro
college name plz
Very helpful :) Make more videos!
Oof this vid got uploaded a while ago. Anyways, I’m a freshman and I have pre-ap biology and I’m planning to have a career such as a neurosurgeon. My question is what other classes should I take to prepare myself and classes that schools recommend?
Congrats on getting into med school!
Can you make one about how to get into neuroscience and then the career options?
(super late) Congrats on med school hopefully its going great!! I was wondering if you'd say that neuroscience is also very psychology heavy? I am very interested in both bio and psych and i'm torn between the two, would neuroscience be a perfect way of combining both interests, or is that not a very good reason to major in it?
Angela Bylina thanks! not very psych heavy. I only took one intro to psych class in college. There might be a biopsychology combined major in universities but I haven’t looked into this. There’s also an option to double major in bio and psych. If you’re trying to go into dental or medicine then you could just do a psych major plus premed/predental courses (which have bio related courses).
@@ALightSwitch ok thanks so much!

Question?
I'm currently a senior in high school and fascinate in neuroscience and business. Currently not sure what the next step is. What is after high school for a neuroscience?
Pre Med?
What are those option. Im a little confused.
if i were to go back to school and finish then major in neuroscience would it help me figure out what part of the brain is firing impulses to certain muscles?
How does neuroscience lead to a pre-dental route if being a dentist requires med school?
What are some job opportunities you can get in the neuroscience field with a masters degree?
I’m in high school, studying for IGCSE next year. I don’t think physics, only chemistry and biology. I’ve been thinking about majoring in neuroscience. Will not taking physics be a limitation for me?
That bit about the reactions we get is 100% true. I get it every. Single. Time. I’m a freshman neuro major and I’m having trouble figuring out what to do once I graduate. I think it’s cool and love the subject but I don’t want med school or teaching. Do u have any advice for what I should do? I have not really been informed of any other options that specifically have to do with the brain.
Hey what are u doing after this degree? Plz tell me reply me cuz its been 5 years
Yes, if you’re still on this account please share :)
I think I'm going to major in neuroscience but I'm sort of nervous because I've never really been the greatest at science but I feel like if It's something I'm interested in then I could really try my hardest to understand it to the best of my abilities. Do you think this major can be for someone who hasn't already had much experience with science?
Hello! I am about to be a freshman in college. I am attempting to double major in medical Diagnostics & neuroscience & just wanted more information. I wanted to minor in psychology. I would love some pointers on college
thank you
I am a psychology major now, but I'm thinking of switching because there doesn't seem go be a lot of careers at the bachelor's level. I also love philosophy, I love thinking deeply about things, such as consciousness, existence. 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?
Neuroscience will absolutely suit your brain especially cognitive neuroscience. But in whatever you like to dwell yourself you would definitely need some tool to work with that to obtain some result & aathematical abilities comes first in this tool race. You can opt for philosophy of mind too.
Hey, I am studying psychology too. Actually only because in my country it's the best bachelor (at least one of the best) to get into neuroscience. So maybe just get your bachelor and do a neuro master, it would be the best choice for your career I think.
What neuroscience is for developing full dive virtual reality
Hello I am currently also studying bsc neuroscience with majors neuroscience and I want to do Doctors of medicine so would I be able to do MD after completing my bsc neuroscience with majors as neuroscience
Means can I join medical school
keep it up bro.And I want to be a softwareengineer in future.Insaalla I will become it
How much did this cost? I'm terrified of student loan debt.
Did you have to take extra classes to satisfy the med schools pre reqs?
it was so awesome and funny tbh
Hey! I'm considering neuroscience , I'm not good at chemistry or physics, but I absolutely Love biology. Will neuroscience be a struggle for me?
Neuroscience is not chemistry or physics heavy. If you love biology (more specifically the nervous system) then you'll be fine in neuroscience.
How about moving into psychology, is that an option?
I struggle the same way as well. I must say, loving a subject definitely helps me in being more passionate to learn. And if we vehemently liked chemistry, I think we’ll do well
@@ALightSwitch I am majoring in neuroscience this fall but majority of required classes at my school in order to get my degree are in the chemistry department! I have to take 5 chem classes and at least three of them have labs. Did you have this experience? I liked chemistry and was pretty good at it in high school, but I'm not sure that I am five-classes good at it!
Brooke Lester they might have changed the requirements since I’ve graduated. I had to take general chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. Most of these were because of they were premed requirements. The neuroscience subject itself is not chemistry heavy. Degree plans vary depending which program you’re in.
Which is the best college in India to pursue neuroscience?Reply fasttt....
I am 12th grader from India, I want to become a research neuroscientist what are the procedure to join in a neuroscience course, where can I get a job
Can you go from a BSc in Neuroscience to some area of psychology like Biological Psychology, Neuropsychology etc. ?
I would recommend to just do a psychology bachelor. Because then you have all the options you mentioned including neurosciences. The other way around it's also possible but Psychology is a bigger field in general.
If you want to be a neurologist will majoring in neuroscience be a route to take?
Although my major is (INB) International Business but then again I'd like to know all your perception regarding your medical school and so on .... best of luck.....
What education requirements is needed to admit in MSc -Neuroscience. My graduation, Marketing major. Can I apply for the MSC Neuroscience.?
would you please make a video in brief how can a neuroscience students apply for the medical school ??
What did you as a bachelors before your major in neuroscience
is there any difference between neuroscience and neurosciencetechnology plzz any one ans me
What career options do i have in this field other than getting into medicine
I will have batchelors degree in biomedical engineering. Thinking to do my Masters in Neuroscience. Should I?
Which will be best books for neuroscience (BSc(hons))
Hiii!! Just wanna ask, if I take a neuroscience BsC, can I get employed to pay for my further studies?🥺🥺🥺 how is the employment rate ?🥺
how did you get into med school? please make a video giving us advice on that! Im a 3rd year and im really nervous, I feel like I will not make it to med school.
I'm planning to make more videos about pursuing medicine. So expect videos about the application process and other premed advice I have to offer!
I can’t pick between this and computer science (i’m a high school class of 23’ so i’m a junior this year)
I am a BSc Psychology with cognitive neuroscience student. I will continue to specialise by taking a MSc in Neuroscience next year.
Will I have the same research career that you've mentioned, although my BSc is in psychology?
college name plz
Do u think is doable to do a double major in Neuroscience and political science?
Is it true for Behavioral and Cognitive neuroscience?Universites don’t have one neuroscience major
hey where is Nora.... I love that child very much.... she is the absolute sweetest and you also..... keep making videos like this....😄😄😄
How you start this course after class12
Can i do bsc neuroscience with pcm
What was your gpa? what med school did you get into?
I actually love biological and leaning about the human body but i am not American so if i studies nerosucinece can they accept me after that in medecine schools with scholarships?
well done
Can you explain me about vibravision (see without eye)??.
love it
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 believe it's never too late to learn new subjects. Neuroscience is challenging but it doesn't mean it's impossible. Fortunately we live in time where there are alot of online resources that can supplement your learning. As long as you're motivated to learn and have a goal in mind you can get through this education. Don't let your past keep you down. Keep your head up and move forward!
@@ALightSwitch wow thank you so much for replying. I will take your advice. 😃
Very helping informations! Neuroscience seems an interesting field! My question is after studying four years in neuroscience how many years will you study in medical school ? wouldn't be a really long career of studying?
Medical school is four years! Practicing medicine a lifelong career of studying.
from which college you graduate ......
Could u perhaps drop the AAMC’s for ur pre med journey
Now does bulgaria has neuroscience colleges?????
Hey my major is Biochemistry.
But i wanna be a neuroscientist. Can i be?
do you need a lot of physics and math for it?
This year I am applying for University and I am really into neuroscience! I want to be researcher after I complete my studies! I am really confused like the for the neuroscience major how many years does it take for my bachelor's ? And can I be a researcher without going to medical school? I will be really great if someone can help me out !! 😭
Hey! Im planning on majoring on neuroscience as well, and ive done some research as well. So far ive found that you can be a researcher usually with a PhD, since its a bit competitive! And yes you don’t have to be in medical school to be researcher! I highly recommend the youtuber neuro transmission’s channel ( contains a lot of helpful info ) also, research thoroughly about the field! Hope this helped!
Thanks for the interesting video! Can I ask you some questions?
In September I will start my Psychology undergraduate course and I'd be interested in taking Neuroscience as a master, what do you think? Is psychology a good faculty to pick up before neuroscience? Does it help? Is it possible to graduate in Neuroscience and then work strictly with neurosurgeons and neurologists, maybe following cases together, doing consultations etc.? Working in the research field sounds interesting, but I'd prefer to work in hospitals in a different way, from your own experience and knowledge, is that possibile?
Thanks for your time!
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.
Unfortunately, I cannot change to Neuroscience for the first year because the university I chose doesn't have the course... Do you think I should change to a scientific course for a better chance of succeeding at Neuroscience master?
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. You might be able to go through psych then choose neuroscience masters. That's the closest subject to neuroscience.
I've been thinking about it a lot in these last days... My university offers a Health Sciences course with foundation year (which is perfect for me, as long as I haven't studied biology, chemistry and biochemistry during the secondary school). Health Sciences touches human biology and diseases, which could mean a big springboard for me taking neuroscience... What's your opinion about that? What do you suggest?
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?
In india there is no bsc. In neuroscience only Msc. Neuro.
When you finish neuroscience than apply to medical school , after you finish medical school will u be a specialised doctor like neurologist or you have to study more years ? Can you please answer my question
After neuroscience you spend 4 years in medical school and then apply for residency specialty. Each residency specialty varies in length of training. Internal Medicine, Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine are 3 years. neurology is 4 years. Anesthesiology is 4 years. General surgery is 5 years
@@ALightSwitch thanks for answering
I would like to ask what is the difference between studying BSc in psychology then MSc in Neuroscience and studying BSc and MSc in Neuroscience
I am doing the first option. If you get your master degree in neuroscience and write both your thesis in a related field no one cares. It's about your master and the thesis, the bachelor is just the foundation.
Which university
Which med school did you get accepted to?
woohoo starting neuroscience degree in a week!
How did it go? :-)
Who can I become a neuroscientist
neuroscience as undergraduate is not available in pakistan.Neurophysiology in medical technology in avalaible.i wanted to study neuroscience but had to take neurophysiology
