From astronaut to astrocytes, at least you keep the "astro", haha! Tbh, as a fellow neuroscientist, I totally agree with you, I feel like doing neuroscience is just like exploring the stars, only that galaxy is in every one of us! How beautiful is that! Although I stumbled into sensory neuroscience by a series of happy and unhappy accidents, I can't be thankful enough that I ended up here.

My eyes became wet AND I envy your passion and the subject you've chosen in studies I'm 34, and I discovered what to study months ago It's my life 🔆♥️

In a way, education is like marketing. Your interest in something usually correlates to how well your teachers sell it to you. Passionate professors are the best so it’s super cool that you were taught by people who love what they do. This was super fascinating, it warms my heart to see you pursuing something that fulfils you and makes you happy.

Psychology is my speciality, but I working in neuropsychology for a number of years, primarily with patients with brain injuries. Its an incredible subject full of fascinating findings and things that are always applicable to our every day lives.

I love how much you love neuroscience and the passion when you speak about it and your research!

I'm reeeeally tempted by a MSc in Neuroscience, and that's part of the reason why I subscribed to your channel :) Now I feel bold enough to ask if you're going to do some video on the "relationship" between the immune system and the brain, speaking about depression, neurodegenerative diseases and stuff like that ^_^ And thanks for the wonderful videos!

Looking forward to future videos. All the best in your research and completion of your doctoral studies. You will be making amazing contributions to the evolving science of the brain. I have shared your channel with a fellow lover of this area of human study. Brava and keep up your remarkable work.

I'm about to major in Neuroscience, and I'm so happy I found this video. Thanks for the great video! My passionate psychology professors, amazing Neuroscience topics and my drive for med school has lead me to Neuroscience.

Aw man, I recently discovered that I'm genuinely inclined towards Neuroscience. I'm a medical aspirant and I wanna be a scientist someday. Not because of the society, money, status or materialistic things... but simply because I have a lot of questions. GOSH THE HUMAN BRAIN FASCINATES ME ! thank you for this video, Ally :)

Having a change of heart is always difficult, but following your passion is inspiring.

Thank you so much! This video and your channel has really inspired me to follow my dreams and become a neuroscientist :)

You rock! I'm currently a undergraduate student, seeing myself at a point that you once have been, and Falling in love with neuroscience. Thanks for sharing.My english sucks, i hope you get it.

You're right, the are so many exciting unanswered questions in this field

I was obsessed with everything to do with space as a young kid, when I was 5/6 I started to devour every book I could find about space....and now I'm here too! Pretty fascinating!

Wow was watching and you said UCSD and I was so excited. I'm going into my second year as an undergrad in neuroscience and physiology at UCSD!!!

the way you speak is really motivating and encouraging😍. I became fascinated in neuroscience.

This video is amazing! Your testimony is extremely beautiful ❤️😊👌

Love this video. Everything that drew you to Neuroscience is what drew me there as well. And it's also cool to know you're at UCSD I'm currently an undergrad there majoring in Neuro. I actually decided on UCSD because of how great it is for neuro. You also kind of remind me of one of my research mentors who's also super awesome. So much feels with this video, holy crap!

That's wonderful! It's interesting how people take similar paths. Hope your neuro experience is wonderful and fulfilling!

I have had a great love of neuroscience for a long time. I think it’s one of the coolest things ever! Learning about the brain and how it functions is deeply fascinating. I shall hopefully be studying neuroscience in October. On the course, I’ll be looking into the structure of the brain, how our thoughts and behavior are dictated by the way our brains are wired. Also, it will be dealing with things like the neurobiology of autism and dementia. I think this field means a lot to me because I have a very rare condition called Moebius syndrome which causes many issues, most notably the underdevelopment and even absence of certain cranial nerves. I have so much faith in neuroscience research and that one day, conditions like mine may be effectively treated or even cured. Thank you for your amazing work! You are so awesome. I have so much respect for you. ❤️

Neuroscience is beautiful! I love everything about it! Btw great video! Love to see a fellow neuroscientist enjoying what she does and your passion for neuroscience!

I had somehow a similar experience. I went to college last year and started as an architecture student, but I was miserable there and never felt like I fitted in. Then I took an introduction to social sciences class were I first learned about freud, most people seemed to find it boring but I found it so interesting. And that's how I started to love neuroscience. And now I'm on my second year in the process of changing majors to biology so that in the future I can become a neurologist or a neuroscientist. Still trying to figure that one out.

Goodness! I haven't even started to study medicine yet and I'm already fascinated by neuroscience, and a few days ago I started reading about astrocytes and became very interested! Perhaps one day I will use your findings to add to my future questions...

Thanks for sharing!

You have a beautiful mind. I recently realized that neuroscience is my purpose in this life, our brain is what makes us humans, I want to study neuroscience but money and my legal situation in USA is a problem, (also English, but I'm getting into this beautiful language). I just want to say that you are a big inspiration for me. Thanks for the amazing work that you're doing. Keep going and hopefully one day we'll meet each other!

Currently going into UCSD undergrad in Cognitive/ Behavioral Neuroscience. I’m interested in neuroplasticity so your research seems fascinating!

Gosh I'm crying with excitement when trying to comprehend all the possibilities and mysteries that are hidden in the brain!! Absolutely will aim to be a neuroscientist, the passion I admire.. yet I'm living in low financially environment, where I'm forcing myself to specialize in the medical field. I truly don't know what to do

She’s such a great speaker ❤️

Thank you so much for this video! This video gives me hope. I've been feeling down and discouraged about starting my neuroscience major. I love reading Robert Sapolsky, David Eagleman and neuroscience generally gives me great wonder and hope. I also have MS, so it's an important field for me and others suffering from neurological disorders, so I want to be part of the solution. But, I've been feeling soooooooo intimidated because the neuroscience degree at me uni requires some intense maths, chemistry and two semesters of a language (that one makes no sense). So thank you, because I'm full of doubt.

Waoo, eventhough this video is 4 years ago, I love the glow in your eyes, is really contagious, I recently decided I will be a Computational neuroscientist someday and this video remind me why I want to become one in the first place

This is so interesting, I’m having such a hard time choosing between whether I want to do a degree in neuroscience or cognitive neuroscience with psychology! 😩

So true Alie! We are JUST getting started with Neurology 😋

Hey, I'm from Brazil and just finished my first graduated. Actually I'm thinking about change my career and start to study psychology. Thanks for this video ❤

Awesome!! You kick butt!

We are the same it's amazing!! Like you, I just knew as a child that I wanted to be a scientist. I entered college majoring in physics and after almost 3 years, I decided to shift to psychology. I am about to graduate now and I'm planning to go to graduate school. There is no neuroscience program in my country but someday (i'm looking at 3-5 years), when I earned enough money, I will definitely study neuroscience!! 💚💚

You remind me of myself...! so passionate about the brain and learning more and more and deep into the brain and how it works.

You hypnotized me, I am now sold on studying neuroscience.

You’re such a wonderful person. I wish to do my phD in neuroscience as well✨✨✨✨

I Love your channel and all ur videos

Same, from childhood to this field. Astrocyte also is my nickname with my favorite classmate in messenger...because it sounded like star or astronomy and cell, physics and biology, universe and life, nature

Amazing! I'm a med student, and I think I want to specialize in neuroscience. I want to help people to deal with their everyday problems and anxieties. New suscriptor. I'll be looking foward to your videos. Greetings!

Thank you so much ...

Neuroscience gives us a chance to explore and reimagine...our own brain. I am fascinated every time I discover something new about the brain like, the change in perception actually changes the brain chemistry. Dear researchers thank you so much for answering our questions

Hello, I have a question for you. Btw, Loved your video and your research topic! It sounds crazy interesting!I am also fascinated by the human brain and plan to pursue a masters in neuroscience . I wanted to ask how you stumbled/found/discovered about what exactly your research topic would be? How would you guide aspiring neuroscientists like us to find our particular research topics? (Because I will be looking for one soon enough for my masters thesis)

OMG, I had the same dream when I was little! And then I studied psychology, and I am interested in humans brain.

I learned about "HM" from watching Dr. Robert Sapolsky's assistant give an introduction lecture at Stanford... On KZread.

One interesting thing that you would find rewarding, is how ( and if ) truncated proteins may mimic nuclear localization signals so that such truncated proteins end up in the nuclei of neurons, in Huntington's disease, for example. I believe that inadvertent methylation of C in CAG triplet repeats, followed by spontaneous deamination, produces TAG, one of the three stop codons.

Beeing totally with you :-D I am convinced that neuroscience and it´s blends with other branches of any kind of science will have massive (positive) impact on most - if not all peoples life within a few decades ;-)

I'm studying Biomedical sciences as a Bachelor and im interested for a Master degree in Neurosciences. First of all, I was so pleased to watch a video with someone who seems to have the same passion like I do. It's quite difficult to explain to others the love I have for this field. Im currently watching your videos in this channel, and I want to ask some questions. First of all, I've seen that after bachelor it is a master or a research technician area, and then a PhD. Well, in which country that happens, where are you from? Or it's just a general map for this field? Secondly, Im not interested in a academic career or teaching other people, I don't think that I'm good in this kind of thing. I would love to do research in a specific topic, is that possible?

Watching this because the pandemic has made it harder for me to get a neuroscience role out of uni. Trying to remember why I got into it in the first place.

So I'm currently going to be a senior in highschool and currently interested in Nueroscience and Business. Could you please provide some advice on college, what classes to take and so on. Do I need to go to medical school? Or graduate school? A rundown would be nice. Thank you.

Is there any advice on soon to be college graduates? i've had quite a lot of challenges in undergrad but My end goal was psychology and becoming a neuropsychologist. However, I am beginning to find a passion for the research side fo neuroscience. My future goal right now is to obtain a psyD in Neuropsychology while doing research on the side. A dream scenario would be doing both Neuropsychology and Neuroscience. I can't see myself just treating patients, I want to be apart of the future pioneers of the research field of the Brain and continue to make breakthroughs in Neuroscience/Psychology

Awesome video Can you suggest your favorite book on neuroscience ?

May I also ask what your plans are after you defend your thesis and get your PhD? Post-doc I assume? If you're interested in reaching out to undergrads at UCSD I'm part of some research orgs on campus and would love to have you collaborate with us!

Hey, I am studying final year medicine. Now I am finding neuroengineering interesting. Would u suggest a book for me on neuroengineering??

Honestly, I had always felt inspired by your videos and your passion. However, once you mentioned that you went to MIT for undergrad, it kind of damaged my hopes to go into neuroscience during/after college. It feels like all of the influential or truly interesting people like you have all gone to MIT, Stanford, Ivy League schools, etc. and it feels like someone who can't make it into a super-selective college has no chance to enter the field. I feel like if I don't get into a top-school, I won't have a chance to actually pursue neuroscience and be taken seriously by my peers. Do you recommend any ways to get rid of this feeling of inadequacy in the face of excellence?

@neurotransmissions

6 жыл бұрын

Hi Reese! I'm sorry that it made you feel that way, and I can understand why it feels frustrating - I know that having gone to MIT has given me opportunities that I might not otherwise have had. But, I will tell you that most of the students in my graduate program did not come from Ivy or Ivy+ schools - we've had entire classes without a single student from any of them! I would focus on the things that are unique to you, and your experience. Where you go to undergrad can provide unique opportunities to network & collaborate - but this is true of all universities, large and small. Smaller schools often mean that students can develop closer relationships with faculty and staff, something I did not have (personally) at MIT. In fact, I had several negative interactions with faculty at MIT - I believe because they were "big names" who felt like they didn't have to care about the undergrads. Closer relationships mean more opportunities to actually participate in research and get guidance on how to apply to grad school. Also, MIT is *expensive*, so I am now dealing with a lot of student loan debt, and will be for a long time - think of all the things I could do and places I could go if I weren't paying so much interest! Finally, I just want to say that even though college can feel like such a big deal, it's just the beginning of so much, even if you don't plan on going to grad school! You'll learn some valuable things in college, but the most important things are the skills you'll gain on any campus - how to manage your time, how to study, how to feed and clean up after yourself, how to navigate conflict and relationships with peers and advisors. If you think you want to pursue a career in neuro research, find a school with thoughtful, smart, and empathetic faculty who offer opportunities for undergraduates to do research in their labs, & pursue those opportunities. What will matter the most is that you've demonstrated your really interested in and dedicated to doing research - that you understand what it means to be participating in science and that you're sure it's what you want to pursue! Seriously, the people I find the most interesting in my life didn't go to Ivy-level schools; they're the people who went to college, learned some things, and then learned even MORE after college. They're the people who have dedicated time and energy to being kind, empathetic, and creative, trying to do good things in the world. If you want to do that, I think you'll be set. :)

Thank you! That helps a lot! I feel a lot better knowing that you don't need to attend the well-known, big-name universities to still get into, succeed in, and enjoy a subsequent life in neuroscience! As a first-gen college applicant, I was worried that if I hadn't been able to get into my Ivy dream school, I would have to fall away into obscurity at some college that wouldn't garner the same chance of success in my field (more than likely neuroscience, but college has a way of changing people) and ultimately remain nameless. Hopefully my infatuation with neuroscience will work out in the end, especially if this means I won't have to mollify it as a result of a denial or two (okay, maybe a few more than two). In the meantime, I guess I can continue to build the, admittedly overwhelming, pile of neuroscience texts in my room with assurance that even if I don't get into Penn or wherever else, I still have a chance!

Could you create an experiment to measure the quantity of DNA glycosylases in healthy neurons vs neurons affected by diseases? Such enzyme can fix errors, like a base T replacing C. The inadvertent formation of stop codons is probably the mechanism of most neurological diseases assossiated with triplet repeats, both CAG and CGA.

You are so beautiful !! Love your videos!

When I was playing with AI, I saw many simple diagrams with layers of artificial neurons: input at left, output to the right. But no diagrams for the learning mechanism, just math. Diagrams are important in design, so I packed this functions into blocks, their inputs at the right (the outputs of the regular neurons) and the outputs to the left (the controls of behaviour of the synapsis), then added a stress detector into them (to check the need for more layers/synapses). I called this block "glia"... Put an eye on glial, I believe since ever they are the REAL architects of the brain. Support? Ha. The cerebellum has a diferent learning mechanism (based on patterns), It doesn need support? How much glia has it? Pitty I dont understant my own diagrams today. I wish I was born this century. So many resources!!!

Great question! There are a lot of different directions, but it depends on what kind of neuroscience you study. Becoming a researcher is a common career path - you work for a university to explore new information. Or you may work for a company to see how their products affect the brain. Or you may be hired for other reasons, like working on an algorithm for a tech startup. Or you can live your life on KZread, educating future generations. :P Seriously though, there are a lot of options!

Is lab the only thing we can do for neuroscience? Can a person that’s not good at labs still fit for this major?

I'm in the navy and am becoming more interested in pursuing neuroscience lately. I've one question you may clearly for me. I've BSc in applied biology, do I qualify to proceed to masters of PhD program without other psychology pre-reqs? Thank you for motivating so many people.

Hi there! It depends on what area you are hoping to focus on; if you're interested in focusing on neuroscience/neurobiology research, you're almost definitely qualified for a Master's degree (though will depend on each program's requirements); a PhD program may be harder unless you already have a few years of research experience under your belt (not just lab classes, but working in a lab as an undergrad or technician). I'd recommend you reach out directly to the programs you're interested in and figure out what the requirements are. In general, you do not need psychology prereqs for a neuroscience degree, aside from perhaps an "intro to psych" course.
