  • Research:
    The role of correlated activity in the development of retinal ganglion cell mosaics.

    I study correlated neural activity in the mouse retina and its role in the development of visual circuits. We perform electrophysiological recordings using a multi-electrode array (MEA) -- a planar array of 61 to 512 extracellular electrodes. The MEA allows us to record both spontaneous and light-evoked activity of dozens of retinal cells at the same time. Being able to monitor so many cells simultaneously opens unique possibilities for getting insights into the retinal circuitry.
