An Update on Gastrointestinal Issues Confronting Older Adults

Professor Bradley Voytek

Even if you've never seen a zombie movie, you could easily identify an undead ghoul. With their aggression, mindless wandering, lumbering gait, insatiable hunger, antisocial behavior, and apparently memory-less existence, zombies are the walking nightmares of our deepest fears. What do these characteristic behaviors reveal about the inner workings of the zombie mind? Could we diagnose zombism as a neurological condition by studying zombie behavior? By combining tongue-in-cheek analysis with modern neuroscientific principles, Professor Voytek will show how zombism can be understood through the lens of modern neuroscience.
