Characterizing learning-induced remodeling of cortical circuitry and computation during the critical period

NIH grant awarded to Brandeis University to study learning-induced remodeling of cortical circuitry during the critical period, focusing on L5 neuron subtypes in the visual cortex.

Description

This project aims to understand learning-induced changes in cortical circuitry during the critical period, focusing on the visual cortex. The research will investigate the roles of genetically defined Layer 5 (L5) pyramidal neuron subtypes and their circuitry during learning, characterizing their structural plasticity, neuronal computation, and afferent contributions.
