Kamran Khodakhah (Professor, Albert Einstein College of Medicine) talks with the group about information coding in cerebellar cortex and his foray into translational research with a model of rapid onset dystonia. The group discusses the current NIH push for translational research at the expense of basic science and debates the idea of cerebellum as a motor learning structure...

The UTSA Neurosciences institute hosted a distinguished panel of language neurobiologists for a symposium on "The Bilingual Brain." This discussion, recorded after the day's talks, has Salma Quraishi leading the group in covering a wide range of topics, including the cognitive advantages conferred by bilingualism, cross-modal bilingualism and critical periods for language acquisition...

David Perkel (Professor, Washington University School of Med) discusses the homology between the avian song system and the basal ganglia circuit, and the role of motor variability in the adult songbird learning circuit. The nature of cortex and its relation to cortex-like structures in the avian brain are discussed...
