THE PLASTIC BRAIN - Information is stored in the brain by changing the strength of connections between neurons. This is known as synaptic plasticity.
WHEN PLASTICITY GOES AWRY - When recruited too much or too little, synaptic plasticity may lead to neuropathologies such as epilepsy or Alzheimer disease.
METHODS - We use two-photon laser scanning microscopy, quadruple whole-cell recordings, optogenetics, and computer modelling. Learn more...
