SUMMARY:Colloquium on the Brain and Cognition with Nuo Li
DESCRIPTION:Time: 4:00pm Location: 46-3002\, Singleton Auditorium (Third fl
 oor of MIT Building 46) Talk Title: Neural mechanisms of volitional moveme
 nt Abstract: Our goal is to understand how neural circuits in the brain gi
 ve rise to volitional movement. A planning phase precedes all volitional m
 ovements in which the brain programs the appropriate movement on the fly t
 o achieve the goal at hand. This fundamental process dictates our behavior
 \, ranging from speech to motor skills. Our work has isolated neural antec
 edents of volitional movements in the mouse brain\, also known as ‘prepa
 ratory activity’ or ‘readiness potentials’ in humans. I will discuss
  our progress delineating a brain-wide network supporting motor planning a
 nd highlight recent findings revealing a surprising link between preparato
 ry activity and motor memory. Bio: Nuo Li is Associate Professor of Neurob
 iology at Duke University. He did his PhD work with Jim DiCarlo at MIT exa
 mining how the primate visual system constructs invariance…\n\nhttps://l
