What is a neuroscientist?

As a neuroscientist, your job is to study the human nervous system. Typical duties include developing studies, researching neurological responses, analyzing results, and writing detailed reports. Some neuroscientists specialize in a specific component of the nervous system, such as the brain or spinal cord, while others take a more generalized approach. Positions are available at research universities, government agencies, hospitals, and public companies involved with pharmaceutical research. Neuroscientists work in both offices and laboratories. They often work as part of a multi-function research team.
