Talk with prof. Bernardo Sabatini from Harvard Medical School Time and date: Thursday, 15th October 2020, Online Talk at 2 pm BST, Virtual Pub Chat at 3.15pm Abstract: In the basal ganglia (BG), anatomically segregated and topographically-organized feedforward circuits are thought to modulate multiple behaviors in parallel.

Furthermore, layered on this model is the proposal that the direct and indirect pathways…
