Question: Why do you like to work in brain development?

Maheen Siddiqui answered on 13 Jun 2016:

I think the brain is really complex and interesting. The reason why I really like working in brain development is because understanding how the brain develops over time is really important if you want to help people with psychological or psychiatric disorders or conditions. This is because you need to know how the brain works and develops in normal conditions, then you can use this information to understand what goes wrong. To me this is really exciting and I would love if the research I am doing can benefit someone who is suffering!
