Structure Function & Development of the Visual System

January 28, 2009

Neurology / Neuroscience

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory July 1 - 14, 2009 This lecture/discussion course will explore the functional organization and development of the visual system as revealed by the use of a variety of anatomical, physiological and behavioral methods. It is designed for graduate students and more advanced researchers who wish to gain a basic understanding of the biological basis for vision and to share in the excitement of the latest developments in this field. Topics will include: phototransduction and neural processing in the retina; functional architecture of striate cortex; cellular basis of cortical receptive field properties; the anatomy, physiology and perceptual significance of parallel pathways; functional parcellation of extrastriate cortex; the role of patterned neuronal activity in the development of central visual pathways; and molecular mechanisms of development and plasticity in the visual system.
