Brief description Although both the retina and visual cortex are part of the central nervous system, the coding of visual information in the two laminar structures differs markedly in that all three dimensions of the cortical sheet are used to code multiple response axes but only one dimension of the retinal sheet. This project examines how visual response properties are mapped through the depth of the retina and this will provide a comparatively simple paradigm of complex information processing in the brain.
