Generating movements with brainstem circuits

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Silvia Arber
Date & Time: 2025.May.14 | 5:00
Location: Lecture hall 0.024 on the ground floor of the Biocenter (Building 304), University of Cologne. Address: Zülpicher Str. 47b, 50674 Köln

Abstract:

Movement is the behavioral output of the nervous system. This talk will focus on recent work elucidating the organization and function of neuronal circuits central to the regulation of distinct forms of body movements, including locomotion and skilled forelimb movements. It will show that dedicated circuit modules in different regions of the brainstem and their interactions within the motor system play key roles in the generation of diverse actions.
