معرفی
Jeffrey Gavornik is an Assistant Professor of Biology Education at Boston University's College of Arts & Sciences, Department of Biology. He leads the Gavornik Lab, focusing on understanding synaptic plasticity mechanisms underlying cortical function and predictive neural processing. His research integrates experimental and computational approaches to study how experience shapes neural circuits, particularly in visual cortex regions.

Research Interests: Cortical circuits, synaptic plasticity, neural representation of time, and visual perception. His lab explores how past experiences influence predictive coding in sensory cortices, using mouse models and optogenetic techniques. Recent work includes studies on M2 receptor roles in sequence learning and estrous cycle effects on visual plasticity.
Publications span topics like neural error signaling in V1, ketamine's role in cortical plasticity, and computational models of temporal coding. The lab collaborates widely, with publications in Neuron, Cell Reports, and Current Biology.
Positions available: Undergrad/PhD/postdoc opportunities in lab techniques, behavioral neuroscience, and computational modeling.
