Maturation of motor control

Understanding how spinal circuits are set up during development may provide insight into degraded motor system performance in mature individuals suffering from diseases or trauma of the nervous system. In the following interview, Dr Tuan Bui outlines how his research could impact the treatment of motor dysfunction due to injury or neurodegeneration.

Selective attention: what is the parts list?

Through an amusing analogy to the components left over after building an item of flat pack furniture, Professor Krauzlis explained that despite knowing a lot about parts of the brain involved in selective attention, there are still areas we don’t fully understand, and particularly the question of where they fit in.
