In this video, Marc Sommer of Duke University delivers his lecture, “Neuronal Circuits for Seeing While Moving,” at the McGovern Institute annual symposium on Monday April 27, 2015.
Theories of motor control have advanced the idea that the brain uses internal models to generate reliable motor commands and predict the sensory consequences of those commands. At this symposium, ten speakers explored the recent advances in the study of internal models in perception, cognition and action, and discussed the extent to which they reveal the common computational principles across neural circuits and behaviors.

![SEND: Harnessing human proteins to deliver molecular medicines to cells
Researchers from MIT, the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have developed a new way to deliver molecular therapies to cells. This animation shows how the system, called SEND, can be programmed to encapsulate and deliver different RNA cargoes. SEND harnesses natural proteins in the body that form virus-like particles and bind RNA, and it may provoke less of an immune response than other delivery approaches.

Produced by the McGovern Institute and Opus Design in collaboration with Feng Zhang, Rhiannon Macrae, and the Broad Institute.
