Behind the scenes at a primate lab
On Demand (IF 2020)
Discussion | Health & Medicine, Science, The Mind
This event highlighted why and how rhesus monkeys help answer some important research questions, including how we optimise learning. See how monkeys complete adapted computer-based tasks that assess learning in healthy humans and those who have experienced stroke. Researchers shared some of their latest findings on brain adaptation and learning after injury, with opportunities to ask your questions. Funded by the Wellcome Trust.
