Topic: neural population recording

Learning in neural circuits manifests via slow changes in activity driving behaviour changes. Uncovering how the coordination of plasticity mechanisms found in the brain leads to such changes is a difficult problem, chiefly because we do not have access to the synaptic parameters underlying neural computation. Nevertheless, as neural population recording techniques improve and experiments track changes in neural dynamics over long durations, finer details about plastic changes could be inferred by observing and characterizing changes in neural activity. In this work, we present a step towards
