Input from torus longitudinalis drives binocularity and spatial summation in zebrafish optic tectum
Summary:
The paper investigates how the brain processes visual inputs from the retina, focusing on the role of the torus longitudinalis (TL) in driving binocular integration and spatial summation in tectal pyramidal neurons (PyrNs) in zebrafish.
Categories
