🧠(1/4) The basal ganglia help regulate dopamine, aka the “feel good” neurotransmitter. W/o dopamine, movements become uncoordinated. The BG is like your brain’s own orchestra conductor, instructing the right tempos & notes for harmonious motion @AugustanaSD #BrainAwarenessWeek
Stylized black and white movie poster titled “Basal Ganglia - unleashing the power of motion”. There are three ballet dancers standing one behind the other in similar poses with one arm raised and one leg pointing outward so that it looks a bit like the movement of one dancer as she raises her arm toward the sky.

🧠(4/4) The Basal Ganglia play a huge part in controlling movements. Damage to the substantia-nigra (one region of the BG) can lead to a movement disorder known as Parkinson’s disease. Learn more at #BrainAwarenessWeek events in @dtsiouxfalls all month!

A stylized movie poster for the film: “Central Nervous System-The command center of your mind and body” The background is a tree with roots extending in many directions as a metaphor for the central nervous system and its connections to the rest of the body via the peripheral nervous system.

🧠(4/4) Do you know anyone with paralysis due to a spinal cord injury? Without this key player of the central nervous system, the communication between their body and brain is blocked. Learn more at #BrainAwarenessWeek events in @dtsiouxfalls all month!

🎬(1/5) “Brain Stem: Don’t Hold Your Breath” 🧠💨 Have you ever wanted a movie about the brain stem? Well you no longer have to wait! This thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat, but remember, don’t hold your breath! @AugustanaSD #BrainAwarenessWeek
An eerie movie poster looking at a swinging bridge that seems to fade away in the black and white distance. The film is titled "Brain Stem - Don't Hold Your Breath", hinting at one of the many automatic functions of the body that is controlled by activity in the brainstem.

🧠(5/5) Fun fact: Chickens can run without their heads 🐔 b/c their brainstem controls basic movements! In fact, “Mike the Headless Chicken” (allegedly) survived for 18 months after becoming headless in 1945. Learm more at #BrainAwarenessWeek events in @dtsiouxfalls all month!
