[4S07m] Retinal information processing: new insights into old questions with modern systems neuroscience tools
Fri. Aug 4, 2023 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM Room 7 (Shirakashi 2)
Organizer: Hiroki Asari (Epigenetics and Neurobiology Unit, European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Italy), Wei Wei (Department of Neurobiology, University of Chicago, USA)
Despite a long history of retinal research, it remains unclear how the retina processes and carries visual information to the brain. The recent advent of large-scale experimental and computational tools has been revolutionizing the research field, enabling us to study and gain new insights into the structure and function of the retina at unprecedented resolutions. Besides those recent findings, this symposium will focus in particular on what the remaining key questions are in the retinal field and how to address them in the coming years.
