TECHNIQUES WEBINARS --> REGISTRATION
Join us for a tour de force webinar series discussing a range of neuro-techniques and best practices for using our silicon neural probes in a variety of species and settings from in vitro to head-fixed to free-behaving.
Learn first-hand from experts in the field as they describe their own experimental challenges and how they successfully addressed them using our neural probes. Each webinar includes an interactive Q+A session with discussion.
Cell-type-specific plasticity shapes neocortical dynamics for motor learning
Shouvik Majumder
Inagaki Lab, Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience
How do cortical circuits acquire new dynamics that drive learned movements? This webinar will focus on mouse premotor cortex in relation to learned lick-timing and explore high-density electrophysiology using our silicon neural probes alongside region and cell-type-specific acute genetic manipulations of proteins required for synaptic plasticity.
Shouvik is a grad student in Hidehiko Inagaki's lab where he is investigating how synaptic plasticity shapes neural dynamics in the neocortex during learning by combining electrophysiology, manipulation of synaptic plasticity, and computational modeling to describe how plasticity in a key excitatory cell type is required for sculpting neocortical dynamics to learn new behavior.
