Functional role of NMDA receptor subunit composition in metaplasticity
… has been proposed to be the substrate for experience-dependent brain development, learning, and recovery of function after brain damage. In the visual cortex, the strength of cortical synapses can be bidiredionally modified, where in response to a critical level of postsynaptic activation, …

Kernels of learning : tracking the emergence of visual recognition through multivariate approaches
… whose response properties depend on context and experience. In this thesis, I examine how the brain changes as we learn to see - what changes occur during the onset of recognition, in the mature visual system on the one hand, and in a developmentally nascent one, on the other? Working with normal …

The mouse visually evoked potential : neural correlates and functional applications
… increase in the use of VEP recordings to study experience-dependent changes in mouse primary visual cortex (V1). These studies typically focus on changes occurring in the layer 4 VEP after a variable period of visual deprivation. Layer 4 of mouse V1 receives heavy direct input from the lateral …

Effect of Cannabinoids and Stress on Motor Maps and Behaviour
Motor maps exhibit experience dependent changes and are therefore sensitive to the type and amount of neurotransmitters present in the motor cortex and changes in motor map expression often results in impairments of skilled behaviour. Endocannabinoids have been shown to affect spinal locomotion and …

Comparative single-cell transcriptomics of complete insect nervous systems
… behavioural state of an animal continuously changes. State changes occur across developmental stages of an organism and as a result of prior sensory experience. The principles of molecular changes of individual neurons that alter behavioural states are poorly understood. The Drosophila larva …

Potential biological embedding of adverse and enriching environments through epigenetic mediators
… mechanisms that purportedly potentiate experience-dependent changes across the CNS. Two such methods are utilized in the current research, after an initial overview of relevant literature in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2 and 3, I use genome-scale bioinformatics approaches in tandem with …
