Description: One essential function of the nervous system is to modulate behavioral response based on experience. In the past decades, increasing amount of studies has characterized the mechanisms underlying experience-dependent modulation of neural circuits. However, it is not entirely clear how the nervous system translates experience into a modulatory signal. The over-arching goal of my thesis work is to contribute to our understanding of this important neuroscience question.
