Development of large-scale cortical networks
How does the brain build the circuits required to see?
Every thought, perception, and behavior depends upon neural circuits that were built and modified over the course of development. So, in order to understand how the brain works, we must understand how it is built.

The Smith Lab @ UMN uses advanced optical imaging techniques to investigate how large populations of neurons form the networks required to process visual information.
