You have 10 seconds to explain why neuroscience isn't the greatest interdisciplinary field of study out there.

>encompasses all of the following: biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, medicine
>relates to the following: psychology, sociology, linguistics, computer science, statistics, philosophy, anthropology, mathematics
>intertwined with interesting concepts such as free will, artificial intelligence, consciousness, emotion, memory, morality, solipsism

don't neurons rearrange when you learn things and practice learning? or learning a skill? Is it true you can rearrange your neurons to perfect skills while lucid dreaming? such as riding a bike or mathematics? As suggested in this video here:

your field is so intelligent they recently found out that small humans feel pain. World changing. I never knew why they screamed till now.

If that's you're takeaway you should consider reading the paper, available here:
http://elifesciences.org/content/4/e07552

>demonstrate for the first time that most (18/20) of the brain regions involved in pain in adults are also activated in healthy full-term newborn babies

Why they screamed was never a question. Try to be less superficial.

My sister brags constantly about her neuroscience program. She's in fourth year now. Her courses are basically all psychology; she is miserable at ochem, has never done any biochem, can't into anatomy or any sort of biology, and couldn't pass a stats course to save her life.

Oh, and she's one of the star students at a top tier university.

Neurons don't rearrange. The existing links between them are strengthened as they (the links) are used, and weaken as they are not.

In my university neuroscience programs are graduate school, they generally start from CS/mathematics/physics/cognition sciences, some ones come from Biology/Medicine (generally go to the wet labs). More than half the labs are computational, there's nothing about psychology there.

Ya I've noticed that as well. There are a lot of neuroscience programs that have high percentages of women, and end up being more like cognitive science. The one at my school is like that, they don't do real neuroscience, they just do psychology and call it neuroscience.

And even so there's plenty of mathematical modelling in neuroscience.
