“Human cognition is the most noteworthy quality of our species. Therefore, within its subsidiary processes, the nervous system that governs this caliber should hold the secrets to the brilliance that ensues. With neuroscience I can satiate my curiosity to explain why behavioral differences exist, how neurochemistry influences decision-making, or how previously intangible cognitive phenomena can be broken down into non-abstract terms. With this interest, I hope to gain a career incorporating neuroscience and medical ethics. I am currently on the pre-health track to pursue my dream.”
