(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The ability to engage in appropriate social interaction is a critical component of daily life that requires integration of multiple neural processes and can be perturbed in numerous psychiatric diseases (Adolphs et al. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Within the visual cortex a vast assortment of molecules work in concert to sharpen and refine neuronal circuits throughout development. With the advent of genetic mouse models it is now possible to probe the individual ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Although graduate science education does an excellent job training students in the technical and career aspects of science, there is too little attention paid to teaching the wisdom of "good" science that encourages riskier ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Introduction: This thesis contains two main projects that I worked on during my graduate studies at MIT. Both address the subject matter of how neurons communicate, process, and pass information within the context of larger ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Unlike the human brain, which produces few neurons in adulthood, the brains of songbirds continue to produce new neurons throughout life. The function of these new neurons is not know, although it has been suggested that ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The Wilson-McNaughton tetrode preparation for awake, behaving rodents was adapted by a group of investigators for use in dorsolateral striatum. Measures were taken to improve the reliability of reaching the target area in ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Although impressionists assure us that the world is just dabs of light, we cannot help but see surfaces and contours, objects and events. How can a visual system learn to organize pixels into these higher-level structures? ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Parvalbumin-containing (PV+) neurons and somatostatin-containing (SOM+) neurons are two key cortical inhibitory cell classes that are poised to play distinct computational roles in cortical circuits: PV+ neurons form ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This thesis is a study of dynamics and learning in recurrent neural networks. Many computations of neural systems are carried out through a network of a large number of neurons. With massive feedback connections among these ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Learning to direct behaviors towards goals is a central function of all vertebrate nervous systems. Initial learning often involves an exploratory phase, in which actions are flexible and highly variable. With repeated ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)How do children learn their first words? Do they do it by gradually accumulating information about the co-occurrence of words and their referents over time, or are words learned via quick social inferences linking what ...
