His laboratory tackles these issues by recording the electrical activity of neurons, visualizing neurons with anatomical stains, building computer models of the mechanisms that shape neural responses, and relating neural performance to visual behavior.<\/p>\n Freeman DK, Passaglia CL<\/strong>. “Luminance adaptation to low-contrast stimuli in retinal ganglion cells” J Neurophysiol<\/em>. 104: 704-12. <\/em>PMID: 20538771.
