Feb. 21st – Brian Jeon (Kuhlman Lab)

Presentation TitleOptical BCI reveals novel plasticity during new skill acquisition

    • Very cool BCI experiments showing mice can use just three neurons to learn a behavior

Group Discussion Topic: Mouse lines for Calcium Imaging & Calculating deltaF/F: how should we compute? 

    • Interesting discussion about the best (seizure-free) strategy for expression of indicators in pyramidal neurons
    • Comparison of three ways of calculating Ca+ signal changes with pros and cons (follow-up next meeting)

Location: Langley 219A

 

March. 21st – Patrick Cody (Tzounopoulos Lab)

 

Research Presentation Topic:Synaptic zinc modulates auditory cortex adaptation to sound context

    • Presented data revealing synaptic zinc as a modulator/mechanism component of a specific form of sensory adaptation, contrast gain in the auditory cortex.

Group Discussion Topic: Comparison of calcium signal normalization methods

    • Comparison of 3 signal normalization methods (DeltaF/F, z-scoring, percentile) via sample data and analysis.

Location: Langley 219A
