DESCRIPTION:Patterns and Plasticity in Adult Neocortex\n\nI will discuss my
  lab’s recent work on the patterns of neuronal activity in the cortex of be
 having adult mice and how these patterns can recruit a range of synaptic pl
 asticity mechanisms that underlie learning.\n\nOur laboratory studies how t
 he biophysical features of individual neurons endow neural circuits with po
 werful processing capabilities\, ultimately facilitating the complex comput
 ations required to drive adaptive behavior.  A principal focus of our work 
 is the role of dendrites\, the elaborate tree-like structures where neurons
  receive the vast majority of afferent input.  The spatial arrangement of s
 ynaptic contacts on dendrites and the interaction of various biophysical me
 chanisms enable complex integration of synaptic inputs – our hypothesis is 
 that circuit-level computations are built out of these fundamental operatio
 ns.\n\n11:50 am- Snacks & Socializing\nnoon- Talk Begins
