That’s ok! Well for my PhD I’m going to study the brain in two different ways. Firstly, I will measure the electrical activity of our brains to see whether it’s different between normal and damaged brains. I will do this using a technique called electrophysiology (long word!) I don’t know how to do it yet so need to learn first. Then the second main way is; I will try and look at where in the brain different proteins are (by dissecting the brain and looking down the microscope) then I will try and measure the amounts of these using different techniques. There are so many ways to study the brain through.. I’m still learning new and exciting ways!
