Neural Encoding for Learning

Summary

Postmortem brain slices can be “read” to determine how a mouse was trained to behave in response to specific sounds.

Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) describe how postmortem brain slices can be “read” to determine how a rat was trained to behave in response to specific sounds. The work provides one of the first examples of how changes in the activity of individual neurons encode learning and memory in the brain. Nature 3/2/15
