I am so curious about this field, neurobiology. Could anyone tell me what a neurobiologist is doing and where a neurobiologist can get a job?
Then perhaps this would be in your field of expertise. I've been wondering why Reboxetine (Edronax; Morpholine; a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor used as an antidepressant, an anti-panic drug, and an anti-social phobia drug) causes premature ejaculation (and urinary hesitancy). Some of the articles on PubMed mentioned that it shouldn't really do this since Reboxetine does not affect acetylcholine receptors very much and so therefore should not affect the sympathetic nervous system (which in turn needs to be powered up in order to prevent premature ejaculations).Moonbear said:My research focuses on neuroendocrine control of reproductive function.
So I guess you're saying the whole female ejaculation thing is phony or at least does not likely involve anything like the same systems that are in operation in the male?My expertise is more in female reproduction, but I will try to help.
Neurobiologists study the structure and function of the nervous system, conducting research on the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. They may also be responsible for designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, and presenting findings. Additionally, they may teach and mentor students, write research proposals and publications, and collaborate with other scientists in their field.
Neurobiologists can find job opportunities in a variety of settings, including universities, research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, and hospitals. They may also find opportunities in the private sector, such as in biotechnology or consulting companies.
To become a neurobiologist, one typically needs a bachelor's degree in a related field such as neuroscience, biology, or psychology. Many positions also require a master's or doctoral degree in neurobiology or a related field. Strong research skills, critical thinking abilities, and a passion for studying the nervous system are also important qualifications.
There are no specific certifications or licenses required for neurobiologists. However, some positions may require certification in certain techniques or software used in the field. Additionally, many universities and research institutions may require researchers to have certification in responsible conduct of research.
The job outlook for neurobiologists is positive, with a projected growth rate of 8% between 2018-2028, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This growth is due to the increasing demand for neuroscience research in areas such as aging, mental health, and neurological disorders. However, competition for positions may be high, and those with advanced degrees and research experience may have an advantage.
