DESCRIPTION:Evan Feinberg\n//Due to a power outage at the speaker place\, 
 this talk (initially planned on 21.06.2022) has been rescheduled.\n\n\nMos
 t behaviors require moving multiple body parts. For example\, catching a b
 all involves wrist\, elbow\, and shoulder movements\, and looking at a fri
 end calling your name entails head and eye movements. How the brain specif
 ies movements of multiple body parts with differing ranges of motion and r
 eference frames in order to construct goal-directed behaviors is unknown. 
 My lab investigates this question by applying neural ensemble recordings\,
  perturbations\, and modeling to a suite of mouse innate behaviors we have
  identified. In this talk\, I will describe a surprising network architect
 ure underlying coordinated movements.  \n\nEvan Feinberg is an Assistant 
 Professor in the Center for Integrative Neuroscience\, Kavli Institute for
  Fundamental Neuroscience\, and Department of Anatomy at the University of
  California\, San Francisco. Evan received a Ph.D. from The Rockefeller Un
 iversity in the laboratory of Cornelia Bargmann\, where he developed GFP r
 econstitution across synaptic partners (GRASP) to visualize synapses betwe
 en defined neurons in vivo. During his postdoctoral fellowship with Marku
 s Meister at Harvard University\, Evan performed the first two-photon calc
 ium imaging study of the superior colliculus and discovered its columnar f
 unctional architecture. As an independent investigator\, Evan has received
  the Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship Award in Neurosciences and the NIH Dir
 ector’s New Innovator Award and additional funding from the National Ins
 titute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the E.M. Ziegler\, Brain &
  Behavior Research\, Whitehall\, Sandler\, and Simons Foundations.
