About
Our laboratory seeks to understand how the brain receives, computes, encodes and transmits information. More specifically, we’d like to learn which biophysical and morphological features equip synapses, neurons and networks to perform these tasks. The retina is a model system for the study of neuronal information processing: We can deliver precisely defined physiological stimuli and record with high fidelity the output of the retina, as well as activity at various points within the network; in addition, retinal circuitry is particularly well understood, enabling us to interpret more directly the impact of synaptic and cellular mechanisms on circuit function. I will present recent experiments in the lab that exploit these advantages to examine how synapses and neurons within retinal amacrine cell circuits perform specific visual computations.
