The sensory cortex represents a powerful model for studying the function and plasticity of cortical circuits. Inhibitory circuits exhibit robust experience-dependent plasticity with mechanisms and functional roles that remain incompletely understood. Dan Feldman, Ph.D., and his team have focused on ParValbumin (PV) interneuron circuits. In the whisker somatosensory cortex (S1), PV circuits are weakened by whisker deprivation, altering Excitation-Inhibition (E-I) ratio in a manner that...

Melissa R. Warden, Ph.D., Assistant Professor and Miriam M. Salpeter Fellow, Cornell University Striking an adaptive balance between persistently pursuing goals and flexibly responding to important events is essential for survival. Here, we will discuss our recent research on the role of neuromodulation in regulating the balance between goal-directed and reactive behaviors using optical methods in mice. We will present evidence that phasic bursts in serotonin neurons promote adaptive behavioral...

Carlos Portera-Cailliau, Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) neurology and neurobiology professor, and his laboratory team recently discovered that tactile defensiveness and delayed perceptual learning in the Fmr1 knockout mouse model of fragile X syndrome are associated with specific circuit alterations in the somatosensory and visual cortex, respectively. Dr. Portera-Cailliau will provide a brief update of his group’s ongoing investigations into these deficits by summarizing...
