Research Interest
Vision is our most important sense, and diseases which cause visual loss and blindness are terribly debilitating. The Visual Neuroscience Research Group studies the normal structure and function of the visual system, by measuring the connections between nerve cells (neurones) in the retina and by studying the activity of single neurones in the retina and early stages of the visual pathway.
