Cortical mechanims underlying biocular vison

人类和所有动物一样，通过眼睛接受相似的视觉输入，尽管不是完全相同。这些信息在大脑中结合在一起，形成了对外部世界的单一看法。在这项研究中，我们的目标是了解大脑中的单个神经元是如何处理从双眼接收到的组合信息的。这项工作将增加我们对导致视力的潜在细胞机制的理解，并确定当视觉输入因失明而受损时会发生什么变化。

Humans, like all animals, receive similar, although not identical, visual input via the eyes. This information is combined in the brain to form a single view of the outside world. In this proposal we aim to understand how single neurons in the brain process the combined information received from both eyes. This work will increase our understanding of the underlying cellular mechanisms responsible for sight, and determine what changes occur when visual input is impaired through blindness.
