Meet Nigel Hunter on #HumansofHBI "...our lab has found that dopamine can influence movement almost instantly, with effects that last for a while. My research focuses on understanding the cellular mechanisms behind these fast, yet persistent, effects." brain.harvard.edu/hbi_humans…

Nigel Hunter - Harvard Brain Science Initiative

I study how the brain’s dopamine system helps control movement. Dopamine’s effects on movement are usually thought to happen gradually, based on whether a behavior is rewarding or not. However, our...
