NEUROPHYSIOLOGY OF VISION

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 视觉神经生理学的一个中心目标是了解进入眼睛的光线与视觉皮质神经元的电反应之间的关系。例如，人们早就知道，许多视觉皮层神经元对特定波长组成的光有选择性地做出反应。然而，特定光的波长组成和光引起的神经反应之间的确切关系仍然难以捉摸。这个项目的目标是推导出一个数学模型，来解释视觉神经元对各种光线的反应。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. A central goal of visual neurophysiology is to understand the relationship between light entering the eye and the electrical responses of neurons in visual cortex. It has long been known, for example, that many visual cortical neurons respond selectively to lights of particular wavelength compositions. The precise relationship between the wavelength composition of a particular light and the neural response that the light evokes, however, has remained elusive. The goal of this project is to derive a mathematical model that accounts for the responses of visual neurons to various lights.
