Neuroscientist

Not to be confused with the academic journal, The Neuroscientist.
Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the father of modern neuroscience and a Spanish neuroscientist, received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1906 for his discovery of the neuron doctrine. He shared the prize with Camillo Golgi, an Italian neuroscientist who was recognized for his staining technique that allowed neurons to be visualized.

A neuroscientist (or neurobiologist) is a scientist specializing in neuroscience that deals with the anatomy and function of neurons, neural circuits, and glial cells, and their behavioral, biological, and psychological roles in health and disease.[1]

Camillo Golgi (1843–1926), Italian physician, neuroscientist, and namesake of the Golgi apparatus

Neuroscientists generally work as researchers within a college, university, government agency, or private industry setting.[2] In research-oriented careers, neuroscientists design and conduct scientific experiments on the nervous system and its functions. They can engage in basic or applied research. Basic research seeks to expand current understanding of the nervous system, whereas applied research seeks to address a specific problem, such as developing a treatment for a neurological disorder.

Neuroscientists have numerous career opportunities outside of academic research, including careers in industry, science writing, government program management, science advocacy, and education.[3] A neuroscientist commonly holds a doctorate in a medical science.
