Neuroscience and art
should definitely be related as all artists need creativity to finish their
work and come up with beautiful ideas. Not like many
other subjects, neuroscience is a newly developed field. It is not until 19th
century did people begin to be aware of the importance of the brain. Brain, an organ that serves as the center of the nervous
system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals, actually controls all
the behavior and thoughts of us. However, because of the limitation of
technique and knowledge, we still know little about the brain.
For the study
of neuroscience, the study of nerves is significant because they are basis of
the brain and without them we can do nothing. In this week’s lecture, professor
mentioned a newly technique called Brainbow, which separated nerves by
different fluorescent proteins. The sketched picture looks so amazing that the
research group win several scientific photography competitions.
Another part I
am really interested in is that talks about LSD, a strong hallucinogen, which
is discovered by Dr. Hoffman in 1938. I am from China, which is a country has strict
laws for people who sell or produce drugs. Most of them were sentenced to
death. In this case, it is quiet surprising for me that Leary from Harvard
University encouraged his students to take the drugs. In my opinion, drug is something
that really harms teenagers because they are in an age with strong curiosity.
It is easy for them to be addicted to drug and will destroy their whole life.
