We are excited to annouce a new publication in Neuron by Dr Phoebe Reynolds (first author) from Professor Robert Hindges' lab here at the CDN!
These findings are the first to show that a developing visual environment can alter the structure and function of neurons in the retina and that these changes directly influence behaviour. They also challenge the traditional view of the retina as relatively fixed “hardware”, suggesting that early visual experience can shape even the earliest stages of visual processing.
