Tobias Bonhoeffer, Max Planck Institute, Germany
David Fitzpatrick, Duke University=20
This lecture/discussion course explores 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 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; =
sensory-motor integration in the superior colliculus; role of patterned =
neuronal activity in the development of central visual pathways. Past =
lecturers have included: B. Chapman, D. Dacey, C. Gilbert, C. Gray, D. =
