Experience of Feast or Famine in Development Sculpts Adult Learning and Decision Making
Speaker: Linda Wilbrecht, PhD Professor • Department of Psychology • Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute • UC Berkeley ---------- Learning objectives: Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: • Compare and contrast concepts of experience dependent plasticity and adaptive developmental plasticity • Describe how feeding history in development affected learning and decision making in adulthood in an experimental test in mice • Define reward prediction error and basic components of a reinforcement learning model • Explain how uncertainty could influence brain function over acute and chronic/cumulative timescales ---------- UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Grand Rounds presentations are for educational purposes and intended only for behavioral/mental health professionals and clinical providers.
