Signals from the eyes undergo extensive processing at the level of the primary visual cortex so that basic features in the scene such as lines, edges, colours and movement are coded in the activity of individual neurones. This project aims to further our understanding of this process at the basic cellular level. This will not only enable interventions that would help those with poor sight but also give us an insight into basic brain circuitry and its derangement in many neurological disorders.

来自眼睛的信号在初级视觉皮层的水平上经过广泛的处理，因此，场景中的基本特征，如线条、边缘、颜色和运动，都被编码在单个神经元的活动中。该项目旨在进一步加深我们对基本细胞水平这一过程的理解。这不仅将使干预措施能够帮助那些视力不佳的人，而且还将使我们深入了解基本的大脑回路及其在许多神经系统疾病中的紊乱。
