This project investigates how specific types of neurons in the superior colliculus process visual information to trigger escape responses in mice. By studying the integration of retinal signals, it aims to uncover the neural mechanisms behind these instinctive behaviors.
Imagine a huge elephant rushing towards you; your first instinct is – run!
This innate escape response is triggered by visual cues, here, a fast expanding object, and crucially depends on the extraction of few relevant features.
The processing of visual information starts in the retina where more than 40 types of retinal ganglion cells extract salient features from the visual scene.
Information about these features is sent to downstream brain areas. A central node where retinal signals are integ…
