This project will investigate a part of the brain responsible for processing visual information, the pulvinar. This area has received little attention but has more recently been associated with the capacity for infants to recover vision following injuries such as stroke, as well as in mental health conditions such as schizophrenia. We will take a cell-to-system approach to uncover how this area develops and modulates the processing of visual information.

这个项目将研究大脑中负责处理视觉信息的一部分，即枕骨。这一领域几乎没有受到关注，但最近与婴儿在中风等伤害后恢复视力的能力以及精神分裂症等精神健康状况有关。我们将采用细胞到系统的方法来揭示这一区域是如何发展和调节视觉信息处理的。
