Neuroscientists study the development and function of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerve cells throughout the body. They could also specialize in one part of the nervous system. I’d consider being a neuroscientist because I’m interested in the brain and its functions. I want to learn how our eyes can get tricked, all the illusions, and everything like that. I don’t want to like cut open a brain and touch it; I just like to learn more about the brain like the x-rays and things involving machines.
Values- The values of neuroscience are curiosity of how the brain, or more broadly the nervous system. Tasks and responsibilities- Neuroscientists typically perform research in offices or laboratories. Some work in clinics and hospitals to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients. Neuroscientists begin experiments by preparing tissue and cell samples. They make use of antibodies, dyes, and gene probes to identify different components of the nervous system. Tools and equipment used to monitor brain and nerve activity include magnetic resonance imagers and microelectrodes. Some use computers to create nervous system models, while others study the simplified nervous system of insects to better isolate certain behaviors.
Working with data/ people/ things- Neuroscience uses data, people, and things in their jobs. They use data by using computers and technology to analyze data, research, and use machines to scan the brain. They use people to study. Lastly, neuroscientists use things to test the brain and nervous system. Working environment- Professionals in neuroscience can also expect to spend significant amounts of time working in a laboratory setting. A neuroscience job requires a great deal of time to be spent on research efforts that examine chemicals, cells, and pathogens. Working productively in a laboratory is an essential duty of many neuroscientists.
Working hours- The average neuroscientist works 50 hours a week, and more at home but that also depends on the type of neuroscience you go into. Aptitudes and abilities- Able to co-operate effectively with other members of a multidisciplinary team, excellent writing skills and experience of report writing, good spoken communication skills, able to express complex ideas or in dealing with very worried patients who have recently been diagnosed with a serious disease, good organizational skills with ability to meet deadlines and manage priorities across multiple projects, good publication record for research posts, able to analyze data.
Education and training- Neuroscientists are expected to complete a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree program, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The BLS further stated that those pursing clinical work must earn a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree. Some schools offer a combined Ph.D. /M.D. program, which increases a neuroscientist's career opportunities. In order to treat patients, neuroscientists with an M.D. must also participate in a medical residency and pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination.
Salary and benefits- The salaries for students majoring in Neuroscience will vary dramatically, depending on their career path. Those who pursue advanced academic or health profession degrees can earn $60,000 to well over $150,000 per year. The Society for Neuroscience supports full parity for mental health and substance abuse services in both private and public insurance coverage. Mental health treatments are more effective than ever, and equal coverage offers a just and affordable way to help all people lead more productive and rewarding lives.
Career outlook- The BLS projected job growth of 13% between 2012 and 2022 for neuroscience careers. International career outlook- Government agencies, universities, industry, hospitals, and medical centers can all be potential settings for neuroscience jobs.
The lifestyle you will receive as a neuroscientist depends of which branch of neuroscience you go into. Some branches you may lead an average life, and others you may be more.
You'll likely be in one city for grad school, another for your post-doc, and yet another when you finally land a permanent position when you go into neuroscience.
