Cortical algorithms for perceptual grouping (Cortic_al_gorithms)
Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2019,
Why do we perceive objects? Visual perception starts with localized filters that subdivide the image into fragments that undergo separate analyses. Our visual system has to reconstruct the objects that surround us. It has to bind image fragments of the same object and to segregate them from other objects and the background. The standard view in psychology is that perceptual grouping is achieved by ...

Imaging function and dysfunction of neuronal circuits in the visual cortex (EuroV1sion)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2013,
The research program aims to understand the dynamics of the structural and functional organization of the visual cortex and the implications for amblyopia ('lazy eye', the most prevalent visual disorder among young people). We will study these fundamental issues from the molecular level all the way to the network level. To achieve this, members of the consortium have - for the first time - establi ...

Restoring Mueller glia cell – photoreceptor interactions with Crumbs (CRUMBS IN SIGHT)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2012,
"Mutations in the Crumbs homologue 1 (CRB1) gene cause photoreceptor degeneration resulting in progressive retinitis pigmentosa (RP) or Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), which both currently are untreatable blinding diseases. CRB1 is localized in Mueller glia cells at a subapical region (SAR) adjacent to adherens junctions between Mueller glia cells and photoreceptors. Loss of CRB1 function result ...
