Neurobiology 300: How neuronal circuits store, represent and recall visual information
Gabriel Kreiman, 617-919-2530, gabriel.kreiman@childrens.harvard.edu
http://klab.tch.harvard.eduThe establishment and recall of visual memories is crucial to most everyday tasks. Consequently, defects in visual recognition and memory formation can be devastating. This course will examine the state-of-the-art knowledge about how circuits of neurons in visual cortex and association areas represent and recall information. We will study the architecture of visual cortex, lesion studies in humans and animals, physiological experiments in humans and animals and computational models of visual object recognition. Each session will include an introduction and a discussion of recent papers in the field. The course is intended for students in the Neuroscience and BBS programs and other researchers interested in vision and memory.
