Dr. Stevens, can you start with explaining to me about your medical journey and your background?

Absolutely.

Well, let me tell a little bit about my interest in the brain and neuroscience, and that includes how I was trained medically as well.

So when I went to college, I became fascinated with the idea that All our behaviors have these correlates underneath that occur in our brain.

chemical signals and electrical signals have the capacity to help us think certain things or move in certain ways and make choices, which was fascinating to me.

And I just couldn't turn away at that point.

So I decided I wanted to learn more about the brain and I went on to do graduate studies in the brain.
