Abstract

Unraveling fine-scale and cell-type specificity of visual cortical circuits.

Professor Edward Callaway

Edward M. Callaway is a professor in the Systems Neurobiology Laboratories. Work in his laboratory is aimed at understanding how neural circuits give rise to perception and behavior. Studies focus primarily on the organization and function of neural circuits in the visual cortex. Relating neural circuits to function in the visual system, where correlations between neural activity and perception can be directly tested, provides fundamental insight into the basic mechanisms by which cortical circuits mediate perception.
