The retina is challenged with encoding visual scenes across light intensities that span twelve orders of magnitude between night and day.
I will present how adaptation mechanisms in the retina reshape the processing of visual information between night and day.
These adaptation mechanisms reveal new roles for gap junctions and feed-forward inhibition in neural circuits.
I will also present some of our preliminary results to use cell-type specific drug delivery to control the function of neurons in the retina.
