Analyses of the Distributed Representation of Associative-Learning in an Identified Circuit Using a Combination of Single-Cell Electrophysiology and Multicellular Voltage-Sensitive Dye Recordings

NIH funded research project awarded to University of Texas Health Science Center Houston to study neural circuit mechanisms of associative learning and memory using electrophysiology and imaging techniques.

Description

This NIH grant project focuses on understanding the design principles that govern memory implementation within a neural circuit using electrophysiological techniques, voltage-sensitive dye imaging, and computational modeling. The study aims to identify loci of synaptic and non-synaptic plasticity associated with operant conditioning in a neural circuit model, examining both short- and long-term memory mechanisms.
