The human brain has many subdivisions (�areas�) that are dedicated to vision, but in many cases their functions remain unclear. This project will study an area located deep in the brain, about which very little is known, and which appears to be affected from early stages in conditions such as Alzheimer�s disease. By understanding the patterns of electrical activity of cells in this region, and their connections with other brain areas, we hope to decipher their contribution to sensory cognition.

人类大脑有许多专门负责视觉的分支（“区域”），但在许多情况下，它们的功能尚不清楚。这个项目将研究一个位于大脑深处的区域，人们对这个区域知之甚少，它似乎在阿尔茨海默病等疾病的早期阶段就受到了影响。通过了解该区域细胞的电活动模式，以及它们与大脑其他区域的联系，我们希望破译它们对感觉认知的贡献。
