I am Chris Thompson, and I am an assistant professor in the School of Neuroscience at Virginia Tech. I study brain development, neuroendocrinology, and neuroplasticity. I have studied the brains of many animals, but my current animal model is the African clawed frog tadpole. The channel includes videos I made long time ago for my classes, including Introduction to Neuroscience, which is a good place for people to start if you're interested in learning more about the brain. I also do live streams to talk about whatever is on my mind at the time, usually about neuroscience, but I also has interests in politics, news, and evolutionary biology.
I also debate various purveyors of pseudoscience, of which you can find many debates on my channel and on Modern Day Debate.
The views expressed on every video are my own and do not reflect the views of Virginia Tech, The School of Neuroscience, nor the Great Commonwealth of Virginia.
