    Talk Title: Dissecting Neural Circuits for Visual Processing and

    Abstract: The long-term goal of my lab is to understand the neural circuits underlying cortical processing of sensory information and sensory evoked behaviors. We have combined a set of cutting-edge techniques, including in vivo whole-cell patch-clamp recording, two-photon imaging guided recording and optogenetics, to dissect local and long-range synaptic circuits for specific visual cortical processing functions. I will present our recent data on the circuits underlying the auditory modulation of orientation selectivity of visual cortical neurons, and those underlying the visual cortical modulation of an innate visual behavior.
