Abstract
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.
