Question: What was your motivation for becoming a neuroscientist?

Jonathan Jackson answered on 3 May 2016:

I have always been fascinated by people. Have you ever wondered why people do what they do? Not just when they make silly or bad decisions, but even ordinary stuff? Like, how do people see? How does the brain make that work? How does reading work, or walking, or meeting a friend?

All of that *has* to go through our brain. It is the most complex structure in the universe, short of the universe itself, but it’s packed into a tiny space in our head. And we all have our own! There are so many things about the brain that we don’t know – neuroscience is just getting started!
