Loving neuroscience comes from understanding.
Hello! Welcome to my blog about (you guessed it) neuroscience. I am a current graduate student in neuroscience, working on my PhD at Yale. I've noticed that though people seem interested in how the brain works, it's an easy thing to be mystified about due to the lack of basic knowledge around. In this blog, I'll try to provide background information and expand upon that into some of the interesting things happening in the field of neuroscience! Enjoy!

These are examples of drawings done by each hand of a split brain patient. You can see that the right hand (left hemisphere) is clearly lacking in spatial reasoning and the ability to get the depth of the original images, while the left hand (right hemisphere) is clearly better at this type of task. For more information about split brain patients, see yesterday’s post.
