During my Master's studies, I conducted an in-depth investigation into the plasticity mechanisms within the dendrites of piriform cortex pyramidal neurons. This research project, which formed the basis of my thesis, also involved studying the impact of cholinergic neuromodulation on these plasticity mechanisms.Throughout this research, I developed and honed a range of technical skills. These included in-vitro electrophysiology, confocal imaging, the use of optogenetic tools, and virus… Show more During my Master's studies, I conducted an in-depth investigation into the plasticity mechanisms within the dendrites of piriform cortex pyramidal neurons. This research project, which formed the basis of my thesis, also involved studying the impact of cholinergic neuromodulation on these plasticity mechanisms.Throughout this research, I developed and honed a range of technical skills. These included in-vitro electrophysiology, confocal imaging, the use of optogenetic tools, and virus injection techniques. I also gained experience in data analysis, using Python and Igor to interpret and understand my findings.In addition to these technical skills, I further developed my abilities in several key areas. These included Python programming, confocal microscopy, patch-clamp techniques, optogenetics, stereotactic radiosurgery, scientific writing, systems neuroscience, and electrophysiology.This work was presented at FENS 2022 and awaiting its imminent publication.
