A few comments:

1. “Passion” is a vastly over-used term in college applications.

2. You should not say anything “over and over” in an application – once is enough

3. I don’t think you can truly be “passionate” about neuroscience when you have no background in the discipline – it would make more sense to say you are very interested in the field, are excited to delve into the area etc.

4. Best to focus your application on things you have first hand knowledge about, have experienced etc.
