Description:: The retina does not act as a simple camera, rather visual information goes through multiple layers of processing before it reaches the brain. Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the output neurons of the retina and process visual information in the retina and then project into the brain. There are over...

Description:: In the vertebrate retina, neurons process visual signals, generating feature selectivity in their activity levels. We use computational models to understand these behaviors by interpreting them mathematically. One component of this analysis is the spatial selectivity or receptive field, a property found in all visual sensory neurons. The neurons found...

Description:: Navigating through the world is typically a multisensory experience. Mammals are believed to navigate using a cognitive map of space stored in the hippocampus. Yet, it is unclear how and whether spatial information of different sensory modalities can contribute to this map. A major barrier to addressing this question has...
