Many behaviours that are critical for animals to survive and thrive rely on spatial navigation.
Spatial navigation, in turn, relies on internal representations about one's spatial location …

Seeing in three dimensions is a major property of the visual system in mammals. The circuit
underlying this property begins in the retina, from which retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) extend …

Classification and characterization of neuronal types are critical for understanding their
function and dysfunction. Neuronal classification schemes typically rely on measurements of …

The basic plan of the retina is conserved across vertebrates, yet species differ profoundly in
their visual needs. Retinal cell types may have evolved to accommodate these varied needs …

The process wherein dividing cells exhaust proliferative capacity and enter into replicative
senescence has become a prominent model for cellular aging in vitro. Despite decades of …

The genesis of broad neuronal classes from multipotential neural progenitor cells has been
extensively studied, but less is known about the diversification of a single neuronal class into …

Mice have a large visual field that is constantly stabilized by vestibular ocular reflex (VOR)
driven eye rotations that counter head-rotations. While maintaining their extensive visual …

To localize objects during active sensing, animals must differentiate stimuli caused by
volitional movement from real-world object motion. To determine a neural basis for this …

Vision begins in the retina, whose intricate neural circuits extract salient features of the
environment from the light entering our eyes. Neurodegenerative diseases of the retina (eg …

Across the animal kingdom, visual predation relies on motion-sensing neurons in the
superior colliculus (SC) and its orthologs. These neurons exhibit complex stimulus …
