Title: Neural basis for skilled movements

Abstract: Generating behavior is an incredible achievement of the nervous system, considering the range of possible actions and the complexity of musculoskeletal arrangements. Motor control involves understanding the surrounding environment, selecting appropriate plans, converting those plans into motor commands, and adaptively reacting to feedback. This seminar will review efforts of the Hantman lab to dissect the neural circuits for skilled movements, and will also feature new work examining the robustness and resilience of these motor systems.
