This award funds research on the function and circuitry of adaptive inhibition in the retina, aiming to understand visual processing and develop treatments for retinal diseases.
Description
The research focuses on understanding the function and circuitry of adaptive inhibition in the retina, particularly involving amacrine cells and their role in visual processing, retinal diseases, and retinal prosthesis development. The study employs experimental and computational approaches to model retinal responses to natural scenes, investigate phenomena like sensitization, and improve stimulus discriminability.
