Neural basis of the functions of primary visual cortex

来自眼睛的信号在初级视觉皮质水平上经历了广泛的处理，因此场景中的基本特征，如线、边、颜色和运动，都在单个神经元的活动中进行编码。这个项目旨在加深我们在基本细胞水平上对这一过程的理解。这不仅可以帮助视力不佳的人进行干预，还可以让我们深入了解基本的大脑回路及其在许多神经疾病中的错乱。

Signals from the eyes undergo extensive processing at the level of the primary visual cortex so that basic features in the scene such as lines, edges, colours and movement are coded in the activity of individual neurones. This project aims to further our understanding of this process at the basic cellular level. This will not only enable interventions that would help those with poor sight but also give us an insight into basic brain circuitry and its derangement in many neurological disorders.
