Neural Mechanisms of Stereoscopic Vision
Project Summary/Abstract Stereopsis is the perceptual process in which the brain combines and compares the input from the two eyes to reconstruct the three-dimensional visual world. Despite the importance of stereoscopic vision in healthy and diseased conditions, its underlying circuit mechanisms remains poorly understood. Here, tree shrews are used as an animal model for stereopsis research. The tree shrew offers many advantages, such as a highly developed visual system, primate-level selectivity for binocular disparity, and a short reproductive cycle that allows for developmental studies. In Aim 1, the investigators will reveal the spatial organization of disparity selectivity in tree…
