Input- and Target-Specific Synaptic Plasticity in Neocortical Networks During Sensory Learning - Alison Barth

Explore a 49-minute conference talk on input- and target-specific synaptic plasticity in neocortical networks during sensory learning, presented by Alison Barth from Carnegie Mellon University. Delve into the neurobiology of learning and the timescales involved in associating events separated by seconds to weeks. Examine the biological mechanisms that induce changes in synaptic connections between neurons, typically occurring within milliseconds. Gain insights into molecular, cellular, and circuit-level mechanisms used by the brain to bridge multiple timescales of experience. Understand how this research contributes to an integrated analysis of statistical learning across molecular, cellular, circuit, and behavioral levels. Recorded as part of the Timescales of Plasticity and Underlying Mechanisms conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this talk complements the main program's computational focus and advances our understanding of associative learning across different timescales.
