Uncovering the Neural Circuit Mechanisms of Spontaneity

November 14 - 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Uncovering the neural circuit mechanisms of spontaneity
Presented by Allison Hamilos, Fellow, Whitehead Institute
Thursday, Nov.  14, 2024
4:00 – 5:00 PM
In this webinar, Whitehead Fellow Allison Hamilos will discuss how her lab is using clues from human disease to understand how our brains enable spontaneous behavior. She will demonstrate how the moment-by-moment signaling of dopamine neurons influences both our perception of time and our ability to self-generate movements. Additionally, she will explain how these new insights can help us better understand the many mysterious symptoms that arise in neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease.

Live webinar with audience Q&A.
