Role of Dendritic Plasticity in Memory Organization - Megha Seghal

Explore the role of dendritic plasticity in memory organization through this 45-minute conference talk by Megha Seghal from UCLA. Delivered as part of the Timescales of Plasticity and Underlying Mechanisms conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation delves into the neurobiology of learning and the challenge of bridging multiple timescales in associative learning. Examine how the brain associates events separated by varying time intervals, from seconds to weeks, despite synaptic changes typically occurring within milliseconds. Gain insights into the molecular, cellular, and circuit-level mechanisms that support learning across different timescales, complementing the conference's focus on integrating statistical learning across various levels of biological phenomena.
