**The project**

The focus of our research is to understand mechanisms that gate plasticity to reshape cortical circuits through experience and learning, while maintaining normal brain function. To investigate plasticity in cortical circuits, we use methods including two-photon imaging, widefield imaging, electrophysiology, optogenetics in targeted cortical neurons and pathways, and behavioral training of mice. Based on these experiments, we aim to develop strategies for targeted interventions that enhance plasticity.
