On Thursday, May 25th we hosted Darcy Diesburg and Mark Richardson.

Darcy Diesburg, PhD, is a post-doctoral research fellow at Brown University. She told us about “Deep brain stimulation and action-stopping: A cognitive neuroscience perspective on the contributions of fronto-basal ganglia circuits to inhibitory control”.

Mark Richardson, MD, PhD, is the Director of Functional Neurosurgery at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Charles Pappas Associate Professor of Neurosciences at Harvard Medical School and Visiting Associate Professor of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT. Beside his scientific presentation on “Auditory input to the basal ganglia”, he gave us a glimpse at the “Person behind the science”.
