The Writer's Mind: Chekhov's 'Anyuta'
Faculty: Arthur Golden
It was Chekhov who said that a gun present onstage in the first act should go off by the third. He meant that no extraneous elements should complicate the construction of a story. His short story 'Anyuta' is a remarkable example of careful composition, and bears close study for the insights and lessons it offers us into the workings of a fiction writer's mind.

Complexity, The Brain, and a New Surgical Treatment for Parkinson's Disease
Faculty: Dr. Craig van Horne
Dr. van Horne will explore some of the fascinating intricacies of the human brain and how new lines of scientific thought have helped in our understanding of brain function in both normal and disease states. We will focus on how these strategies have led to new treatments by profiling the surgical procedure for the implantation of deep brain stimulating electrodes for Parkinson's disease. The results of this type of surgery will be demonstrated with a patient who has recently undergone the procedure.
