Description

Thursday, March 20, 2014
Massimo Scanziani (HHMI UCSD) discusses how cortical circuitry in primary visual cortex serves as an amplifier of preprocessed signals from thalamus, rather than building new representations.  He also theorizes about ways in which interneuron diversity may be catalogued and understood in the near future.
