Sup /sci/.
Medfag here. I want to do research, and I've become more and more interested in neuroscience. I'm interested in things like "does the brain use more glucose when concentrating" (it probably doesn't), how memories are formed, and the interaction between neuroscience and psychology. I'm also interested in computational methods.
What specific neuroscience field seems fitting to go into?

Oh dear, I also want to become a neurologist to do research. That said I was considering neuropsychology, but I'd be equally happy without specializing. Also, the brain pretty much uses static levels of glucose, about 21% of the body's metabolic reactions can be attributed to the brain, no matter how hard you may be thinking.

We have some neuroscience guys and some medicine guys on the /sci/ discord chat, you may be interested.

Last years Nobel prize in medicine is likely to increase the interest in this field. A lot.

Speaking of the brain, I need to study for 12+ hours per day until half of June. I was thinking of taking modafinil but I can't take it since I'm on 20mg isotretinoin/day and my doctor won't give me a prescription. I have a really high caffeine tolerance since I've been an addict for years.

So I was thinking of getting L-theanine and Caffeine pills and taking them until then, Does it actually work or is it just a meme?

Neuroscience, from what I have read, is not a very specifically rigorous or helpful scientific field. In particular, because it is new and concentrates in problems like schizophrenia, autism, and Alzheimer's. Such "disorders" are deductions or the result of individuals who are disorienting other individual inductions in interactions such as war or interpersonal disputes or economic or financial transactions. You are better off studying Chemistry or the more hard as in quantitative and Physics based understanding of Biology. Chemistry and Biology are applicable to medicine and topical drugs like ibuprofen or caffeine. So I do think that with reference to your sugar problem the study of metabolism would be more appropriate - either using tools of Chemistry or Biology.

Dude just buy an energy drink and take a nap in the middle of the day. Concentration pills are fucking meme.

What a fucking pleb
Keep your uninformed opinion to yourself, faggot

I wonder where this idea of neuroscience not being "rigorous" came from. Is there some article or something? Or just /sci/ word of mouth without knowing anything about it? Or just someone doing crappy research and being bitter about it? Which is it?
