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

This course aims to explore the role of GABAa receptors in meta-plasticity, focusing on understanding the molecular, cellular, and circuit-level mechanisms involved in bridging different timescales in associative learning. The course teaches participants about the biological mechanisms that support learning across various timescales and encourages an integrated analysis of statistical learning at molecular, cellular, circuit, and behavioral levels. The teaching method involves presentations and discussions led by experts in the field. This course is intended for scientists, researchers, and individuals interested in neurobiology, synaptic connections, and the mechanisms underlying learning and memory.
