Although both the retina and visual cortex are part of the central nervous system, the coding of visual information in the two laminar structures differs markedly in that all three dimensions of the cortical sheet are used to code multiple response axes but only one dimension of the retinal sheet. This project examines how visual response properties are mapped through the depth of the retina and this will provide a comparatively simple paradigm of complex information processing in the brain.

虽然视网膜和视皮层都是中枢神经系统的一部分，但两个层状结构中视觉信息的编码明显不同，因为皮质层的所有三维都用于编码多个响应轴，而视网膜层仅用于编码一维。这个项目研究视觉反应特性是如何通过视网膜的深度映射的，这将提供一个相对简单的大脑复杂信息处理的范例。
