October 15 - In Person and Zoom Assembly

Coordination

(Content warning: Today's speaker's talk will include discussion of scientific experiments performed on animal subjects and videos of animal behavior in a laboratory setting. Note: All effects from experiments were designed to be reversible.)

For many of us, dexterous behaviors such as grasping a cup of coffee or catching a ball are central to our daily experience. Dr. Eiman Azim, Associate Professor of Neurobiology and the William Scandling Developmental Chair in the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, explores how the brain controls movement of the body, movements that are often central to our daily experience but are particularly susceptible to injury and disease of the nervous system. In their search to clarify how the brain achieves such astounding coordination, Dr. Azim's lab utilizes cutting-edge tools, techniques, and tests to discover the underpinnings of these kinds of skilled movements, hoping to pave the way for improved diagnosis and treatment when neural circuits are disrupted.

And please join us for our very first Soup Off after the assembly, where you can have several homemade soups for free, or become a soup judge for $10 and try them all! Please RSVP separately for that here.

If you are new to Zoom, please watch this handy video about how to join a meeting.

In the corner of the box with your face in it, you can choose to hide yourself from your view, so you won't find looking at yourself so distracting. Also, it'll make more space on your screen to see others.

You may (but don't have to) RSVP on Meetup.
