A requirement for astrocyte IP3R2 signaling for whisker experience-dependent depression and homeostatic upregulation in the mouse barrel cortex. (2022)
Journal Article

Changes to sensory experience result in plasticity of synapses in the cortex. This experience-dependent plasticity (EDP) is a fundamental property of the brain. Yet, while much is known about neuronal roles in EDP, very little is known about the role...

Time-course and mechanisms of homeostatic plasticity in layers 2/3 and 5 of the barrel cortex (2017)
Journal Article

Recent studies have shown that ocular dominance plasticity in layer 2/3 of the visual cortex exhibits a form of homeostatic plasticity that is related to synaptic scaling and depends on TNFa. In this study, we tested whether a similar form of plastic... Read More about Time-course and mechanisms of homeostatic plasticity in layers 2/3 and 5 of the barrel cortex.

Astrocyte and Neuronal Plasticity in the Somatosensory System (2015)
Journal Article

Changing the whisker complement on a rodent’s snout can lead to two forms of experience-dependent plasticity (EDP) in the neurons of the barrel cortex, where whiskers are somatotopically represented. One form, termed coding plasticity, concerns chang... Read More about Astrocyte and Neuronal Plasticity in the Somatosensory System.

Stimulus intensity determines experience-dependent modifications in neocortical neuron firing rates. (2015)
Journal Article

Although subthreshold inputs of neocortical sensory neurons are broadly tuned, the spiking output is more restricted. These subthreshold inputs provide a substrate for stimulus intensity-dependent changes their spiking output, as well as for experien...
