The project seeks to understand a very fundamental issue in neuroscience: how the connectivity and architecture of the cortex are related to the functions of neurones in that area? This will be investigated by imaging the surface of the visual cortex of anaesthetised cats and monkeys as special visual patterns are shown to the eye/s. The overall picture gained of the active and inactive cortical areas will be related to the properties of neurones in those areas and to those of individual input and output fibres. An optical imaging equipment will be acquired in 2004 using a recently awarded LIEF grant to the CI.

该项目旨在了解神经科学中一个非常基本的问题：皮层的连接性和结构与该区域神经元的功能有何关系？这将通过对麻醉的猫和猴子的视觉皮层表面进行成像来进行研究，因为眼睛会看到特殊的视觉模式。获得的活动和非活动皮质区域的整体图像将与这些区域中的神经元的特性以及单个输入和输出纤维的特性相关。 2004 年将使用最近授予 CI 的 LIEF 拨款购买光学成像设备。
