Hey all, I’m a neuroscience grad student bored as hell while working on research, AMA
From the video description: > Philosopher David Chalmers and neuroscientist Christof Koch made a bet in 1998 on a breakthrough in consciousness research within 25 years. Now the bet is settled – thanks to the journalist Per Snaprud, neuroscience editor at the Swedish popular science magazine Forskning & Framsteg. Here's a conversation that was held between the three at New York university on June 24:th 2023.
What do you think are the most promising fields of neuroscience for the next +/- 20 years? I feel like computational neuroscience might develop some breakthroughs, i feel like there’s only so much we can conclude from biochemical / mol. biological research alone so for fundamental insights, we’ll need mathematical/physical models as well. Functional imaging also seems like an interesting field.

A very readable article about chronic depression and the serotonin hypothesis. Psychiatry seems like a very interesting field for neuroscience since there's not really any psychiatric disease that is understood today. Lots of room for progress I guess.

I’m not sure how many people know about these videos but I think they’re pretty cool. I’ve been watching some of them and for anyone with a basic knowledge of neuroscience and math, they’re pretty interesting and accessible. The visuals are also amazing, a bit like the 3blue1brown videos. Just thought i’d share.

Apparently this was done because air captures less X-rays than CSF and thus creates more contrast with brain tissue compared to the cerebrospinal fluid. Unfortunately this was pretty painful and uncomfortable.
What kind of things are you working on right now? Are you a student? Phd? Working in industry? Let’s talk :)
Welcome everyone. Let’s make this a friendly place for neuroscience enthousiasts.
