RuCCS Marquee Course Series: Cognition in Sensory Cortex
Abstract: Dr. Schneider studies the neurobiology of acoustic self-awareness defined as anticipating how our actions will influence ourselves, others, and the world around us. The Schneider Lab uses natural, ethologically-relevant behaviors in rodent models to understand how natural sound-generating behaviors including walking, foraging, and vocalizing, alongside complementary studies using engineered sound-generating actions (pressing levers to produce sound) can alter sensory processing in the auditory cortex. Studying the brain and behavior in both reduced and unrestrained preparations allows us to gain deep insight into the cellular and circuit mechanisms through which the brain makes predictions and takes action in sensory-rich environments and social communities.
