In the retina, photoreceptors pass visual information to interneurons, which process it and
pass it to retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Axons of RGCs then travel through the optic nerve …

Retinal circuits transform the pixel representation of photoreceptors into the feature
representations of ganglion cells, whose axons transmit these representations to the brain …

Recent large-scale collaborations are generating major surveys of cell types and
connections in the mouse brain, collecting large amounts of data across modalities, spatial …

In the vertebrate visual system, all output of the retina is carried by retinal ganglion cells.
Each type encodes distinct visual features in parallel for transmission to the brain. How …

When 3D electron microscopy and calcium imaging are used to investigate the structure and
function of neural circuits, the resulting datasets pose new challenges of visualization and …

Understanding how> 30 types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the mouse retina each
contribute to visual processing in the brain will require more tools that label and manipulate …

Vision is the sense humans rely on most to navigate the world, make decisions, and perform
complex tasks. Understanding how humans see thus represents one of the most …

How specific features in the environment are represented within the brain is an important
unanswered question in neuroscience. A subset of retinal neurons, called direction-selective …

The thalamus is crucial in determining the sensory information conveyed to cortex. In the
visual system, the thalamic lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is generally thought to encode …

Understanding the neural basis of visual perception is a long-standing fundamental goal of
neuroscience. Historically, most vision studies were carried out on humans, macaques and …
