Brain scientists offer insight into vision

A team of neuroscientists report in the July 21 issue of the science journal Neuron their research about how neuron clusters in the brain overlap to communicate such combined visual information as a flower's color, shape,and distance. The team, including Dezhe Z. Jin, Penn State assistant professor of physics and an affiliate of the Penn State Neuroscience Institute, performed the research at the Picower Center for Learning and Memory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
