What does /sci/ think about Neuroscience?
How do i get into it?
The first line made me think this would be an interesting thread, but the second made me realize it was made by a 18 to 20 year old idiot who wants career advice instead of talking about cool /sci/ stuff.

Could be, or I'm an 23 year old loser who sits in his room all day and want to get into interesting stuff.

By reading the fucking sticky, Jesus Christ!
How does everyone miss the sticky?

But you're probably a dumbshit and will need to work from the high school material beforehand.
>>9025223
make it a cool thread!
>>9025242
Why you interested in it?
>>9025216
>wants to learn serious brainer
>don't know how to research
>lurks /sci / for clues
You Netflix, right?
Did you ever walked your r.c. like a dog in the park?
Or let the r.c. join you for a selfy?

Neuroscience is literally psychology mixed with biology and brain anatomy.

Applied psychology! :^)
Principles of Neural Science by Kandel

Not correct, psychology is biology, but only focuses on the brain and parts that are connected. Bones for example are not connected to the brain, nor does the brain manipulate growth of bonestructure. Bones however are part of biology.

not at all, it's biology of the nervous system (literally, nervous system + biology forms the name neuroscience/neurobiology), it informs fields like psychology but psychology is largely evaluating behaviour directly and is based on retarded old shit.

People don't seem to realise that the study of neuroscience has so far relied on methodology, tests and theories developed in psychology to study/interpret the brain. Furthermore psychology is probably useful in terms of starting more from phenomonological aspects. I dont think any neuroscience would be complete without an interpretation this way.

Having studied it form a medical perspective, it feels like psychology has taken lessons from neuroscience.
>get into neuroscience
go to wikipedia for some receptor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_protein%E2%80%93coupled_receptor) or something and just click on the terms you dont understand till you find an article you can understand, and work your way backwards
you could also buy books or something but i think you will get overwhelmed.
maybe im just a brainlet but going to school for neurology would be a better idea because you will learn it from the ground up which will give you an actual understanding and you can ask questions/find out if you are actually learning the material

Yeah ofcourse but how are you going to study or contextualise neural responses without theories or methods of looking at behaviour. I reckon most neuroscience probs refers in some way to theories from cognitive psychology and computational theorists try to design models that replicate results or data drawn from these methods and theories too. Neuroscience too is obviously going tp constrain the way we view psychology and cognitive theories too. They both interact and i think the line blurrs sometimes in the sense that they ask different but overlapping questions about the same area/topic
