Changes in the Neural Control of a Complex Motor Sequence during Learning

Olveczky, Bence P; Otchy, Timothy Matthew; Goldberg, Jesse H.; Aronov, Dmitriy; Fee, Michale S. (American Physiological Society, 2011)

The acquisition of complex motor sequences often proceeds through trial-and-error learning, requiring the deliberate exploration of motor actions and the concomitant evaluation of the resulting performance. Songbirds learn ...
Design and Assembly of an Ultra-light Motorized Microdrive for Chronic Neural Recordings in Small Animals

Otchy, Timothy Matthew; Olveczky, Bence P (MyJoVE Corporation, 2012)

The ability to chronically record from populations of neurons in freely behaving animals has proven an invaluable tool for dissecting the function of neural circuits underlying a variety of natural behaviors, including ...
Neural Circuit Mechanisms Underlying Skill Learning, Adaptation, and Maintenance

Otchy, Timothy Matthew (2016-05-18)

Part I Mastering a motor skill, such as a playing the guitar, requires precisely controlling both spatial and temporal aspects of motor output – that is, what movements to perform when. While it is generally assumed that ...
