Title: Binocular Integration in Mouse and Tree Shrew Visual Cortex

Abstract：

The overall goal of our research is to study the neural basis of vision: how neurons in the brain respond to visual stimuli and lead to visually guided behaviors; what neural circuits give rise to such function properties; and how these circuits are established during development. In this talk, I will present our recent results of using mice and tree shrews to study binocular integration in the visual cortex.
