JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE: Ben Reese and team make advances in neuroscience and vision research
December 7, 2011
Thanks to a new study of the retina, scientists at UCSB have developed a greater understanding of how the nervous system becomes wired during early development. The research team examined the connectivity of nerve cells, called neurons, in mice. The published findings reflect the expansion of developmental neurobiology and vision research at UCSB, according to senior author Ben Reese, professor in UCSB’s Neuroscience Research Institute and the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences.
