Most promising fields of neuroscience in the next 20 years?

What do you think are the most promising fields of neuroscience for the next +/- 20 years?

I feel like computational neuroscience might develop some breakthroughs, i feel like there’s only so much we can conclude from biochemical / mol. biological research alone so for fundamental insights, we’ll need mathematical/physical models as well. Functional imaging also seems like an interesting field.

Chronic depression and the serotonin hypothesis: a nice popscience article

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/2186597

A very readable article about chronic depression and the serotonin hypothesis.

Psychiatry seems like a very interesting field for neuroscience since there's not really any psychiatric disease that is understood today. Lots of room for progress I guess.

A fun/accessible youtube channel about computational neuroscience 🧠

I’m not sure how many people know about these videos but I think they’re pretty cool. I’ve been watching some of them and for anyone with a basic knowledge of neuroscience and math, they’re pretty interesting and accessible.

The visuals are also amazing, a bit like the 3blue1brown videos. Just thought i’d share.

TIL before CT and MRI’s were available, doctors used to replace the fluid in and around the brain with air to do imaging with X-rays.

Apparently this was done because air captures less X-rays than CSF and thus creates more contrast with brain tissue compared to the cerebrospinal fluid.

Unfortunately this was pretty painful and uncomfortable.
