Gazing into the mind’s eye with mice – how neuroscientists are seeing human vision more clearly
Gazing into the mind’s eye with mice – how neuroscientists are seeing human vision more clearly Mice have complex visual systems that can help neuroscientists understand how vision works in humans, including how individual brain cells communicate and work together to create a mental picture of the visual world. Research has shown that mice are […]
