NEUROPHYSIOLOGY OF VISION

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 视觉神经生理学的一个中心目标是了解进入眼睛的光与视觉皮层神经元电反应之间的关系。 例如，人们早就知道，许多视觉皮层神经元选择性地对特定波长成分的光做出反应。 然而，特定光的波长组成与光引起的神经反应之间的精确关系仍然难以捉摸。 该项目的目标是导出一个数学模型，该模型解释了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.
