[vslist] Vision Summer Course at CSHL

[Martin Usrey]

Vision Summer Course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

"STRUCTURE, FUNCTION & DEVELOPMENT OF THE VISUAL SYSTSEM"

JUNE 4  JUNE 17, 2003

This lecture/discussion course will explore the functional organization and 
development of the visual system as revealed by the use of a variety of 
anatomical, physiological and behavioral methods. It is designed for 
graduate students and more advanced researchers who wish to gain a basic 
understanding of the biological basis for vision and to share in the 
excitement of the latest developments in this field. Topics will include: 
phototransduction and neural processing in the retina; functional 
architecture of striate cortex; cellular basis of cortical receptive field 
properties; the anatomy, physiology and perceptual significance of parallel 
pathways; functional parcellation of extrastriate cortex; the role of 
patterned neuronal activity in the development of central visual pathways; 
and molecular mechanisms of development and plasticity in the visual 
system.  Past lecturers have included: J. Assad, T. Adelson, D. Baylor, M. 
Bear, A. Borst, K. Britten, B. Chapman, H. Cline, M. Constantine-Paton, D. 
Dacey, T. DeYoe, M. Feller, D. Ferster, C. Gilbert, C. Gray, C. Gross, S.
