The results of many studies in a variety of species have significantly advanced our
understanding of the role of visual experience and the mechanisms of postnatal eye growth …

Restoring vision to the blind by retinal repair has been a dream of medicine for centuries,
and the first successful procedures have recently been performed. Although we are still far …

A general model of neural development is derived to fit 18 mammalian species, including
humans, macaques, several rodent species, and six metatherian (marsupial) mammals. The …

The mouse is becoming a key species for research on the neural circuits of the early visual
system. To relate such circuits to perception, one must measure visually guided behavior …

The retina reports the visual scene to the brain through many parallel channels, each carried
by a distinct population of retinal ganglion cells. Among these, the population with the …

Brain connections are organized into topographic maps that are precisely aligned both
within and across modalities. This alignment facilitates coherent integration of different …

Intercellular protein–protein interactions (PPIs) enable communication between cells in
diverse biological processes, including cell proliferation, immune responses, infection, and …

Conventional neural recording systems restrict behavioral experiments to a flat indoor
environment compatible with the cable that tethers the subject to recording instruments. To …

The subject of neural coding has generated much debate. A key issue is whether the
nervous system uses coarse or fine coding. Each has different strengths and weaknesses …

Visual selective attention is a fundamental cognitive ability that allows us to process relevant
visual stimuli while ignoring irrelevant distracters and has been extensively studied in …
