Sight relies on the signals of nerve cells in the brain, but we know little about the way in which nerve cells support this, or why in some people sight is diminished. In this work we will measure the signals of nerve cells in the visual pathway to gain knowledge of these processes: we will make measurements in normal animals and in those that suffer from brain disorders. Our work will provide a scientific basis for the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.

视力依赖于大脑中神经细胞的信号，但我们对神经细胞支持这一点的方式知之甚少，也不知道为什么有些人的视力会下降。在这项工作中，我们将测量视觉通路中神经细胞的信号，以获得这些过程的知识：我们将在正常动物和患有大脑疾病的动物中进行测量。我们的工作将为这些疾病的诊断和治疗提供科学依据。
