Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents broadly-based and wide-ranging contributions on all aspects of vision. The material is grouped for presentation in a logical fashion in five main themes: peripheral processing; sensory integration in superior colliculus; organization of visual projections; development and plasticity; and neuronal encoding and visually-guided behaviour.;The material spans from molecules to cognition, including overt behaviour, and synaptic and membrane levels of analysis. The species studied also range over diverse phyla, while contributors too form a diverse group, representing Europe, North America and Asia.
