Multidimensional Coding of Visual Information in the Retina

虽然视网膜和视觉皮层都是中枢神经系统的一部分，但两个层状结构中视觉信息的编码明显不同，因为皮质片的所有三个维度都用于编码多个响应轴，而视网膜片只有一个维度。该项目研究了视觉反应属性是如何通过视网膜深度映射的，这将为大脑中复杂的信息处理提供一个相对简单的范例。

Although both the retina and visual cortex are part of the central nervous system, the coding of visual information in the two laminar structures differs markedly in that all three dimensions of the cortical sheet are used to code multiple response axes but only one dimension of the retinal sheet. This project examines how visual response properties are mapped through the depth of the retina and this will provide a comparatively simple paradigm of complex information processing in the brain.
