Summary of My Contributions to ScienceResearch on Auditory System Plasticity and Memory (1980-1989)My dissertation research characterized plasticity of single cell activity in the auditorycortex during learning. The issue we addressed was the functional significance of neuralplasticity in a sensory system. How is it possible for a cell to represent the physicalparameters of sound, as well as its psychological significance? One component of thiswork was to review the functional neuroanatomy of the thalamo-cortical auditory system.We described the parallel pathways that carried purely sensory information in parallelwith psychological information to the auditory cortex. In empirical work we directlymeasured single cell activity in the auditory cortex during classical conditioning in awakecats. Our research demonstrated, for the first time, that the sensory cortical maps werecapable of demonstrating plasticity in their representation. We demonstrated thatindividual auditory cortical neurons could exhibit rapid and systematic changes in theirreceptive fields in response to perceived changes in the significance of sounds.Subset of PublicationsDiamond, D.M. and Weinberger, N.M.

We discovered that exposing rats to a stressful environment blocked the expressionof synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus.
