The functional evolution of neuronal networks: What can we learn from the vertebrate retina

Date: Tuesday, December 5, 2017 16:00 - 17:00
Speaker: Tom Baden (University of Sussex)
Location: Seminar Room, Lab Building East
Series: Life Sciences Seminar
Host: Maximilian Jösch
Contact: SIX Rita
Lab building east seminar room

I will briefly summarise some key aspects of vertebrate retinal processing, mainly from published work on mouse, and then elaborate on some new data from my lab where we looked at retinal processing in zebrafish. In each case I will seek to draw on the animal's visual ecology in an attempt to make sense of the many functional differences observed between these two species, as part of a broader argument aiming to relate the functional architecture of sensory networks to the sensory world for which they evolved to operate.
