Interrogating the Role of GABAa Receptors in Meta-Plasticity - Rich Kramer (UC Berkeley)

Explore a 45-minute conference talk by Rich Kramer from UC Berkeley on the role of GABAa receptors in meta-plasticity. 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 memory formation across various timescales. Examine how the brain associates events separated by seconds to weeks, despite synaptic changes typically occurring within milliseconds. Gain insights into the molecular, cellular, and circuit-level mechanisms that enable the brain to bridge multiple timescales in individual experiences. Discover how this research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of biological mechanisms supporting associative learning, complementing computational approaches in the field of neuroscience.
