NS Career 1-Neuroscientist

Neuroscientists research how the nervous system behaves. They can also develop pharmaceuticals for neurological disorders and treat patients. Neuroscientists study the development and function of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerve cells throughout the body. They could specialize in one part of the nervous system, such as neurotransmitters, or focus their research on specific behaviors, such as psychiatric disorders. Illnesses based in the nervous system include Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Neuroscientists typically perform research in offices or laboratories. Some work in clinics and hospitals to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients.

Neuroscientists are expected to complete advanced degree programs and must be licensed before performing clinical work. Individuals will need a PhD or MD  in order to work clinically in the field of neuroscience. 

Clinical neuroscientists make on average $79,930 per year, while neuroscientists who perform research make approximately $101,280 per year.
