EVENTS AND LECTURESFall 2009 list of Developmental Area scheduled speakersCenter for Perceptual Systems Seminar Series"Homeostatic Control of Temporal Coding by Coordinated LTP and LTD in an Auditory Circuit"Thanos Tzounopoulos, Ph.D. Monday, November 23 Reception with Refreshments at 11:30 AM Find information about current and upcoming talks at CPS on our website: http://www.cps.utexas.edu/Happening/happening.html Abstract: Natural environments are constantly changing and neural circuits have to adapt to these changes in order to optimally process. Nevertheless, spike timing and temporal coding must remain invariant during adaptation, otherwise stimulus identification and discrimination is lost. current adaptive schemes have not addressed this basic necessity. What are the circuit and cellular mechanisms that allow for adaptive input-output transformations of neuronal activity, without degrading temporal encoding? Our present study shows that coordinated long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) in a feedforward inhibitory, auditory brainstem circuit modelate sensory response threshold, while preserving spike response timing. The University of Texas at AustinGeneral undergraduate research info sessions offered twice weeklyDescription: Sign up to attend an undergraduate research information session. Sessions take place on Mondays from 4-5 p.m., and on Tuesdays from 1-2 p.m. Learn the necessary steps to get involved in research, how to contact faculty, the qualities and skills faculty are looking for in undergraduate researchers and course credit for undergraduate research. Time: Recurs weekly on Mondays through Dec. 14, 4-5 p.m. URL: http://www.utexas.edu/ugs/ugr/students/sessions The University of Texas at Austin"100 years of Graduate Education"The Graduate School will be celebrating 100 years of Graduate Education in 2010. A number of exciting events are planned and the "Share your Story" campaign has been launched to encourage graduate alumni to share a story related to their graduate experience. A hardcover commemorative book with select stories will be released in Fall 2010 through UT Press. Download the PDF document which outlines the celebration and Share campaign. |
