What to study for studying neuroscience and genetics?

AI Thread Summary
Studying physics offers a strong methodology and enhances understanding of the universe, appealing to those who enjoy math. Combining physics with interests in neuroscience and genetics can lead to a focus on biophysics. Pursuing a degree in physics followed by graduate studies in biophysics is a viable pathway. Biophysics integrates concepts from both genetics and neuroscience, making it a suitable field for interdisciplinary exploration. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of complex biological systems through the lens of physics.
