To know more about the brain and different neurological concepts, I studied with Brain Facts book. Because it contained informations about mechanism of systems, neurological disorders, development, to movement, it helped me to cover diverse parts of the brain system.

Because I’m interested in biology and diseases, I took great interest in learning about illness and disorders. There were diverse disorders from neurological trauma to psychiatric and childhood disorders. From that, the one that intrigued me was schizophrenia since it had an intricate structure with the symptoms and causes. It was also the most devastating, not only because of how severe it may get, but the timing it usually happens in 20s when you just entered into the society.

Another chapter that I got immersed in was memory. Because I focus on dementia, memory was a big part of what I wanted to study. It was divided into two categories and more subcategories: short and long-term memories. It informed me how memory storage works and how different kinds of memories work together in our life.
