摘要：The big question my lab is interested in is how the brain represents visual objects. We are studying this in two species:macaque monkeys, because their visual system is very similarto that of humans, and mice, because there is a wide variety oftechniques we can use to study neural circuits in mice. We areusing multiple approaches in both species: in monkeys, we usefMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), which gives abig picture of how the brain is organized by measuring bloodflow across the entire brain in response to different visual stimuli. We also use single unit recording, which lets us recordelectrical activity from single neurons in regions of interestthat we identify using fMRI.
