Research

Our fundamental biologic question is "How does the nervous system work?" We use the visual system as our model. Given that the visual system is so vast, our research encompasses a depth of topics presented at different spots throughout this website (publications, color vision circuit, circadian rhythm...). It is difficult to summarize in just one page, therefore we've decided to have this page focus on providing some of the more commonly requested information.
