Dave Sulzer: 30 Second Science

(electricity crackling) (curious instrumental music) - Half my lab is working on how brain cells speak to each other... and how that can be changed and how those changes can make new memories and new skills that you learn.

The other half is using that information and trying to figure out the cause and maybe, we hope, new treatments for diseases like Parkinson's, drug addiction, schizophrenia, and autism.

I'm like a trained elephant.

I'll do what you ask.
