A thought-provoking, “brain teaser” of a talk with ESNW member, Holly Moore on how presumptions about what is “normal” may inadvertently drive and shape brain research, and conversely, what people with “atypical” brains may have to teach biomedical researchers.
Holly Moore, PhD is a neuroscientist currently living in Baltimore, MD. She is a Health Science Administrator/Program Official at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) where she oversees a funding program for neuroscience research for the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Before moving to NIH, she was Associate Professor of Neuroscience in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical College. Dr. Moore has a long-standing interest in how neural circuits operate to produce behavior, and how this has evolved across species and generations.
