Neuroscience

Of all the the aspects and topics in science that I enjoy reading about and researching, Neuroscience (particularly Neuropsychology) is my favorite. Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system. I compare this field of study to that of space, where when one begins to look into the present day knowledge of that field we realize how little we know about it. The mysteries of the brain/mind are one of my favorite topics, the things that we cannot fully explain. 

One of the "all-stars" of Neuroscience is V.S. Ramachandran MD PhD. Ramachandran is a professor and researcher of Neuroscience at UC. San Diego and has dedicated most of his efforts into researching the anomallies of the mind such as phantom limb syndrome and some extreme cases where his patients believed that one of their limbs was that of somebody else. 

The following is one episode of a two part series on his work that aired on the BBC.
