The visually responsive neuron : from basic neurophysiology to behavior / edited by T.P. Hicks, S. Molotchnikoff, T. Ono. - 1993. - 1 online resource (xvii, 487 pages) : illustrations. - Progress in brain research, volume 95 0079-6123 ; . - Progress in brain research ; v. 95. .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This timely new volume presents broad-based and wide-ranging contributions on all aspects of vision. The material is grouped for presentation in a logical fashion in five main themes: peripheral processing; sensory integration in superior colliculus; organization of visual projections; development and plasticity; and neuronal encoding and visually guided behavior. The material spans from molecules to cognition, including overt behavior, and synaptic and membrane levels of analysis. The species studied also range over diverse phyla, while contributors too form a diverse group representing Europe, North America, and Asia. The Visually Responsive Neuron is an exciting and informative addition to the well known Progress in Brain Research series.
