I am studying how inhibitory networks shape plasticity in the visual cortex in response to visual experience. I use ex vivo slice recordings to measure changes in intrinsic excitability of inhibitory interneurons and inhibitory synaptic strengths after a juvenile mouse becomes an expert cricket hunter. In the future I plan to follow the dynamics of interneuron activity during the acquisition of learning.
