The eye and vision are critical to survival, and adaptation to changing conditions is essential for sensing form, contrast, and movement. The long-term goals of our studies are to identify the specific nerve cells, neural circuits, and chemical messengers involved in retinal adaptation to changing lighting conditions, and to identify the retinal systems that can cause or prevent myopia.

眼睛和视觉对生存至关重要，对变化的条件的适应对于感知形式，对比和运动至关重要。我们研究的长期目标是确定参与视网膜适应不断变化的照明条件的特定神经细胞，神经回路和化学信使，并确定可以引起或预防近视的视网膜系统。
