My field of study is called Biological Psychology.
Psychology is the study of how people think and behave.
In Biological Psychology we study the relationship between how the body, especially the brain, works and the way people behave. One of the questions we study is to look at how certain actions are controlled by certain parts of the brain. We look at pictures of how the brain starts to use more energy in some parts when you read and other parts of your brain when you build a puzzle. Other people in this field look at how certain chemicals in the brain can change the way people act and might even cause a problem like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I first got interested in Psychology in high school when I was reading books about people who had mental and behavioral problems.
