Vision Summer Course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

"STRUCTURE, FUNCTION & DEVELOPMENT OF THE VISUAL SYSTSEM"

JUNE 4  JUNE 17, 2003

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.  Past lecturers have included: J. Assad, T. Adelson, D. Baylor, M. 
Bear, A. Borst, K. Britten, B. Chapman, H. Cline, M. Constantine-Paton, D. 
Dacey, T. DeYoe, M. Feller, D. Ferster, C. Gilbert, C. Gray, C. Gross, S. 
Hendry, S. Hockfield, D. Hubel, A. Humphrey, L. Katz, P. Konig, N. 
Logothetis, J. Malpeli, K. Martin, D. Masland, J. Maunsell, K. McAllister, 
D. McCormick, K. Miller, T. Movshon, K. Nakayama, B. Newsome, M. Paradiso 
C. Reid, J. Reynolds F. Rieke, P. Roelfsema, M. Shadlen, C. Shatz, J. 
Schnapf, M. Sereno, S.M. Sherman, W. Singer, D. Sparks, M. Stryker, A. 
Thompson, M. Usrey, D. Van Essen, R. Wong.

Course Directors:
Marty Usrey, Ph.D., University of California, Davis, CA
