Dr. Justin Sipla is a neuroanatomist in the Carver College of Medicine who teaches extensively about the organization and function of the human brain in Iowa’s MD, PA, DPT, neuroscience Ph.D, and Neurology Residency programs.

This short lecture is intended for a general audience and will look at the neuroscience underlying an athlete’s physical and mental performance during a critical game moment in Hawkeye Football. (The play in question will be a touchdown pass play, Stanley-to-Hockenson vs. Ohio State in 2017.)
