BMI Special Seminar // William Wright: Dissecting the synaptic basis of learning in vivo
Synaptic plasticity has long been thought to underlie the ability of the brain to learn and adapt from experience. However, it remains unclear how synaptic plasticity regulated in vivo during learning and how this plasticity modifies neural circuits to lead to behavioral adaptations. In this seminar, I will present recent findings dissecting the rules that direct cortical synaptic plasticity in vivo during motor learning and how this plasticity functionally reorganizes neural circuits for the acquisition of skilled movements.
