This short lecture by Justin Sipla, associate of anatomy and cell biology and associate of neurology in the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, is intended for a general audience and will give a big-picture look at the neuroscience underlying an athlete’s physical and mental performance during a critical game moment in Hawkeye football.

Sipla is a neuroanatomist who teaches extensively about the organization and function of the human brain. He recently started investigating vestibular and neurocognitive dysfunction in human athletes suffering from traumatic brain injury.
