Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the explanation! It was very helpful and interesting to understand this difference!
Glad it was helpful!
This was EXTREMELY helpful! I graduated with a BS in psych with a concentration on neuroscience and am currently a psychometrist at a neuropsych clinic. I’m hoping to go to graduate school but I’m stuck between behavioral/cognitive neuroscience (I LOVE research) and neuropsychology (also super cool!)
Love that, congrats and best of luck on your journey!
Thank you so much for these videos!
You are so welcome!
Thank you helped so much!
You're welcome!
So great full
These videos are awesome! I have my B.S. in Human Development & Family Studies with minors on sociology and psychology. I took time off from school after graduating because I had so many interest and I FINALLY settled on neuroscience without changing my mind for a year and a half. Now I’m trying to figure out how to become a neuroscientist that focuses on human behavior, habits, how our brains function, memory, etc.
That’s awesome! I really liked neuroscience as well in college, best of luck to you!
3rd is the coolest in my opinion except I want it to be *neuropsychiatry* instead of "ology"
Hello, if you haven't yet can you do a video on the benefits of Clinical or counseling psychologists in careers. How to focus on both or individually???? THANK YOU ( @Phil's Guide to Psy.D )
Sure! Usually people do one or the other but both can do the same thing and see the same patients
Love your channel super helpful! Hoping to apply to an applied Clinical Neuropsychology MSc in october 😁
Wonderful, best of luck, and thank you so much for the support!
@@philsguidetopsyd thanks so much , all the best to you too 🌞
I am starting researching going to school for this. How would I be able to find a school that has this program for neuropsychology? Would the better route be to go for psychology that has an MAS of neuropsychology or a strict neuropsychology program?
Hey great question! It depends on what your goals and aspirations are and the location you are applying to. In the U.S. you do not need a masters to get into a phd/psyd program but it might make you more competitive to have the masters so it's up to you on whether you should get the masters or not. Either route is good, and depends on the applicant.
How do you know which tests to put together (besides wais and mmpi) prior to having an intake interview w the patient? Unless someone tells you the explicit concerns, there's no way to choose which tests, right?
This is a great question! A few ways you could look at it. You're right in that prior to the intake interview you won't know which tests to pick for the patient because you don't know your referral question, or reason that the patient is coming to you. That's why intake sessions/interviews are vital to the neuropsychological/psychological assessment process because a clinician would need to figure out what the concern is (is the person having trouble with concentration at school? Focus or memory issues? Mood and behavioral issues?) Then after the intake interview neuropsychologists will choose the specific tests they want to use to further identify what is going on.
An mmpi/wais will not always be used for every assessment. Mmpi is great for mood/personality stuff and wais is a good start if a clinician is trying to figure out if someone has ADHD, dyslexia, or autism for example. So yes, unless someone tells you the explicit concerns, that will guide you on which tests to use, and based on those results, they will finish with a written report that discusses the measures they used, how they evaluated the results, intervention, and recommendations to either a workplace, school, family, or physician, in how to deal with the problem. I hope that answers your question!
Hi Phil, great video.. I wanted to know can you do therapy as a Neuropsychologist?
Yes, at least in the way that U.S. training programs are set up. I'm not sure about international programs. But in the U.S. a Clinical Psychologist specializes in Neuropsychologist. So when they specialize in Neuropsychology they can do neuropsychology work, but they also have the training as a psychologist which means they can do therapy if they also want. Many neuropsychologists in private practice will do both therapy and neuro assessment but there may be some jobs that will restrict the neuropsychologist to only do neuropsychology. It depends where you work. Hope that helps!
Great video! I have a question, I am in my last year of high school and plan on becoming a neuroscientist in the future. Does the Bachelor need to be specifically about neuroscience. Could it be possible to take a Bachelor of psychology and then specialize in Neuroscience by taking my master and PhD? Thanks so much for all your help! 😊✨
Great question! I think it's up to the student what their preference is. Sometimes neuroscience programs or PhD's might specify so you could also ask the schools that you are interested in if they have a preference. Hope that helps!
Hey, I know I'm a little late on this thread but I thought I'd chime in. Im a senior neuroscience undergrad with a psych minor. I work in a behavioral neuroscience rodent lab at my school. There are 4 undergraduate students working in the lab, 2 are neuroscience majors 2 are psychology majors. There are 2 graduate students, 1 had a degree in psychology 1 had a degree in neuroscience. There is 1 lab manager, he has a degree in pathology. Basically what Im trying to say is psychology and neuroscience is so closely related that either degree can work for undergrad. I would say if you choose to do psychology, get a concentration in biology or choose electives that demonstrate that you can handle the more physical or biological heavy courses like molecular or micro biology, human physiology, any bio psych or neuroscience/cognition courses, genetics, cell biology, etc. If your goal is neuroscience, then you wanna show PhD programs that you can handle hard science courses that provide a basis for understanding the CNS (bio concentration or physical/biological electives) as well as understand how to apply them in real world situations (through your psych degree). On the flip side if you wanna keep your options open for psych while being in a neuroscience program, make sure to take statistics electives as well as things like learning processes, abnormal psych, developmental psych, drugs/medicine psych, stuff like that. I found that neuroscience with psych minor was a good balance of the science aspect to prepare for labs and the application aspect of psychology.
If you have a phd in neuropsychology, does that allows u to work with patients in a clinical setting, or you need to get into a clinical psych program first? And I want to make sure that my thinking is right. So clinical programs with a neuro track prepares u to be a clinical neuropsychologist and the neuropsych program is more focused on research?
In the U.S., most Neuropsychology PhD programs are going to be connected with Clinical Psychology programs. That means that a neuropsychologist can do everything a clinical psychologist can do including therapy. But they are more specialized and focused on neurological conditions. So to become a neuropsychologist one would need to go into a clinical psychology program or a neuropsychology program and get their license. The license to become a psychologist or a neuropsychologist is the same license. But if someone wanted to specialize in neuropsychology after getting their psychology license, they would need additional training in a post doc or internship, to be eligible for board certification in neuropsychology. Depending on what program you choose, a neuropsychology program will prepare their students for both research and clinical work, usually clinical programs with a neuro track require a research component anyways, and a clinical neuropsychologist program would also require a research component. the programs are pretty much the same thing. After getting the degree you can decide on whether or not you want to just focus on research or whether or not you want to get licensed to do clinical work but a clincial program with a neuro track and a neuropsych program are pretty much the same thing. Hope that helps!
can you do a video on neuromorphic technology, engineering, architecture? i like neuroscience and neurology but i really want to do something with technology/computer. could you maybe give me some suggestions on majors/jobs that have both neuroscience and technology/computer? greta video!!
Fantastic question! And thank you for the suggestion, I do think the integration of neuropsychology and technology is growing more and will be coming more common. If you want neuroscience and technology jobs you should look into tech companies who hire neuroscientists into their workspace because they may have specific positions that allow you to integrate both. Choosing the work environment that desires neuropsychology expertise should provide spaces to bring the two together. Hope that helps!
Wow you are exactly like me
What about Neuropsychiatrist?
Hey guys Im currently a sophomore in high school. Currrently I only have background in computer science and don’t know if should switch to learning about bio/nuero ( not sure if it is too late now). Is there anything you guys may suggest doing /learning to see if I actually like the field or not ?
Try shadowing! If in high school it’s not too late!
Do you have any thoughts on a Ph.D. in behavioral neuroscience?
Great question! Behavioral neuroscience is a great field for anyone that wants to go into research or academia. It's different than a psychologist in that they can't do therapy with people, but they get to study all the cool things about the brain, neurons, sleep, and even some neurological disorders like autism or adhd while working in a lab and conducting research. I thought about it at some point for myself while in college, but decided I wanted more people interaction and clinical treatment application
Also tell me dffernce btw neuroscience , cognitive neuroscience & clinical neuroscience .what subject i should take in bs progme to do masters in above courses .i am.so much confused btw them 🙁
neuroscience relates more with just a major or bachelor's degree that a student takes in college. Cognitive neuroscience might be more of a specialty, for example masters or phd programs may offer cognitive neuroscience which relates to studying brain related disorders, neurotransmitters, etc. and how they relate to cognition, consciousness, or disease. Clinical neuroscientists may work in clinical centers like hospitals or academic medical centers and do a combination of research and clinical trails on patients. a bachelors in neuroscience or if your college has any speciality courses might be a good place to start. Hope that helps!
Nifty
Hi
Please tell can i go to medical school for neurologist after bachelor of neuroscience?
Good question, in the U.S. yes from bachelor to med school to neurology residency
Wonderful video! I just want to ask, I'm currently an MA Clinical Psychology student, can I, after completion, enroll in Ph.D in Neuroscience?
Yes, absolutely. Most students might obtain a PhD/PsyD in clinical psychology/neuropsychology so that they can learn about the brain while also practice clinically. Neuroscientists aren't able to practice clinically like to do therapy unless your masters in clinical psychology will provide that. In most states in the U.S., an MA in clinical psychology won't be enough to practice independently, that's why most people get a phd/psyd in clinical psychology after getting a masters. But if you only want to be a neuroscientist and not practice clinically then a phd in neuroscience is certainly an option. Hope that helps
@@philsguidetopsyd I appreciate your great answer. Thank you so much
I have a bachelor’s degree in computer science engineering and I’m interested in studying neuroscience, but I’m not sure what careers I can pursue. I want to focus more on the clinical and perhaps even the educational route than engineering. Any tips?
Also is there a way I can do a PhD in neuroscience without a bachelor’s or masters but only with online certification experience?
Shadowing someone in the field could help gauge better if you could see the fit. Whether a neuroscientist or engineering. PhD programs require at least a bachelor's, masters might be optional in some programs though depending on the area. Hope that helps!
@@philsguidetopsyd thank you so much!
I am an 8th grader who wants to become a neurosurgeon, I don’t know if you will see this but what are the things needed to become to become an neurosurgeon with the subjects needed and majors?
Great question, if you take lots of sciences courses in high school you'll be in good shape for college. Many students will declare themselves a pre-med major, or biology, neuroscience, or chemistry major. Then it's getting ready for med school and then a residency after that. Shadowing a neurosurgeon has been found to be helpful for a lot of students and working in a medical office or getting hands on clinical experience in high school or college might prepare you as well. Best of luck!
@@philsguidetopsyd thank you so much!
Heyy , i wanted to ask how to enter the field of brain research being a mechanical engineering students?
Great question, what would you like to do with it, become a neuroscientist or something else? Here's a resource online that might help with entering the field, specifically with psychology. Best of luck! mitch.web.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/4922/2017/02/MitchGradSchoolAdvice.pdf
"I'm a humanities student at A-level. Can I pursue a bachelor's degree in neuroscience?"
I’m not sure about the cultural contexts in other countries about pursuing a degree in neuroscience, but I can only speak for the U.S. in that a bachelor in neuroscience typically sets up students well for grad school
So can you say a neurologist is also part neuropsychologist and part neuroscientist in a way?
In a way. A neurologist knows the anatomy of a brain that a neuroscientist might understand and knows a little bit about the assessments that a neuropsychologist does to diagnose people with neurological conditions, but they work more from the physical health orientation of being a medical doctor and using drugs, medication to treat diseases or conditions that affect the nervous system.
is a degree in neuroscience the same thing as a degree in cognitive neuroscience and psychology?
It depends on the program, school, and curriculum. There might be more similarities than differences though!
can you become a neuroscientist if your bachelor's degree is in psychology?
Yes, as long as you fulfill the pre-requisite courses to apply into neuroscience programs you may major in psychology. You might want to double check the neuroscience programs you apply to and see if they require any additional classes that won't be fulfilled by a major.
what about cognitive neuropsychology? how to become one
Great question! Lots of different ways. Typically there might be masters/doctoral programs in cognitive psychology. Those websites should have the pre-req classes to take and info of how to get into it. In general there are a lot of ways so contacting a cognitive psychologist or a program might be the most helpful, best of luck!
If I become a neuroscientist what type of places can I work in?
Normally universities and grauduate programs as academic faculty, research centers, and some hospitals
I am appearing for NEET exam which is an enterence test for medical school and I do wanna be a doctor but at the same time I am also interested in research works. I don't know what am I doing, can you please help me? Am I on the right path??
It might be helpful to shadow a psychologist or have a conversation with neuropsychologist working in the field. They might be able to better help you by explaining what they do on a day to day basis and seeing if that aligns with your goals and passions. Best of luck!

@@aasthayadav3613 You research MD-PHD programs they are
Neuroscience means not psycologu right?
Neuroscience is the biological and physiological explanation of psychology. Psychology explains human behavior, but neuroscience explains the neurochemical components that contribute to human behavior. Hope that helps.
@@philsguidetopsyd can biomedical science graduates do this
It depends on the graduate school you apply to, some schools require certain classes before applying to their program.
If i do masters in clinical psycology then i again do master in neuroscience
Hi, good question it depends on your end goal. Are you wanting to become a therapist or just do research? In the U.S. most people who get a masters in clinical psychology end up going for their doctorate and finishing with a psyd/phd in clinical psychology. A masters in clinical psychology may have some limitations to private practice which is why to practice independently students will need a doctorate. Same with a masters in neuroscience, most people with a masters will go on to do a doctorate in neuroscience because they will be able to teach and do research on their own independently or with more companies/academic centers. If students are really interested in research than a masters/phd in neuroscience might be a good option, but if someone knows they want to do therapy and psychological assessment then a career in clinical psychology is a good option. Ultiamtely it depends on what you want to do with your career and your personal goals. Hope that helps, best of luck!
@@philsguidetopsyd so if i done bs psycology from.pakistan than should i apply for Master in neuroscience in uk
Great question! I’m not as familiar with those systems so I would email or contact the programs just to be sure
Hey! I don't know if you're gonna see this message but could u make a detailed video on neuroscientists of possible? Please let me know😅
Great suggestion I’ll put it in the list!
