The neuroscience community has grown explosively over the last half century. As stated by the Society of Neuroscience, “Neuroscience barely existed as a separate discipline in 1969 and the field now has over 300 training programs and is considered one of the most exciting areas in biomedical research” (What is Neuroscience). Growth within the neuroscience community has led to specific studies in sub-fields of neuroscience. These studies are leading scientists ever closer to answering the fundamental questions of neuroscience. The answering of these questions will greatly benefit our world by uncovering and curing neurological diseases, increasing our knowledge of what the mind is, and increasing our understanding of how we perceive the
