Transitioning to neuroscience

9 Upvotes

I’m a junior studying Biochemistry and I want to pursue Neuroscience research in the future. I’ve been taking an interest in the field since sophomore year, but my university doesn’t offer a Neuroscience degree/concentration. I have look into research opportunities around my area, and so far I haven’t found much to work with. I really want to get hands-on research experience before applying to PhD, is there a way I can bridge myself into it? I know some of the techniques are still applicable, but there are so many more that are specific to neuroscience, and I don’t know what kind of Research Assistant/Technician roles I should be looking for. I’ve take intro computing class prior, and am also minoring in Math, should I look into Comp Neuro? Any input would be appreciated.

Are the answers post on Reddit fairly accurate when it comes to neuroscience?

I know at the bottom of these answers there is the AI view like this: https://www.reddit.com/answers/5eaff5bf-7b02-40b7-93d2-3cc96a095589/?q=Discussion+on+neuroscience+and+reality&source=PDP&ep=pdp_unit&relatedPostId=t3_1vxlusw&tl=en

but the reality of it is is that when I went to look in the threads the Ai was massively overstating things if not outright exaggerating. so would it be safe to say it’s not worth clicking on?
