episode 72: Episode 72 -- Kamran Khodakhah, PhD
Thursday, October 13, 2011
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...
episode 73: Episode 73 -- Stephen Lisberger, PhD
Thursday, October 20, 2011
Stephen Lisberger (Professor, HHMI & UCSF) talks with Charles Wilson about solving the problem of how circuits generate behavior using low dimensional model systems, and why it is important to study variability in the nervous system.

episode 76: Episode 76 -- David Perkel, PhD
Thursday, November 3, 2011
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...
