I am passionate about sharing scientific knowledge with the general public, making complex ideas accessible and engaging. By writing these blogs, I aim to disseminate my expertise beyond the academic sphere and inspire curiosity about how the brain shapes our thoughts, feelings, and behavior.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"582\" data-end=\"914\">I extensively use AI tools such as Deepseek and ChatGPT, which allow me to express my ideas more efficiently and reach a wider audience. While AI helps streamline the writing process, I am solely responsible for choosing topics and editing content, ensuring that the material reflects my perspective and expertise.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"916\" data-end=\"1368\">I hold an M.Sc. in Molecular Neuroscience, a Ph.D. in Behavioral Neurology, and the title of Docent in Systems Neuroscience and Neuroendocrinology. I currently work as an independent researcher at the University of Turku (Finland) and Fudan University (China). Through this blog, I hope to provide readers with a cross-disciplinary perspective on brain function and behavior, combining scientific rigor with accessibility.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t<div
