PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): Learning is a fundamental component of neural systems. It is essential for gaining new knowledge or skills, and impaired learning faculties can have major deleterious effects. Although various forms of associative and perceptual learning have been studied our current understanding of how neural circuits learn remains incomplete. Humans and animals leverage category learning––grouping stimuli together based on shared and often higher order features––to deal with the world’s dazzling complexity. Yet, the neural mechanisms underlying category learning are not known. In this proposal, we focus on auditory category learning leveraging the rich nature and…
