Funded Activity Summary

A new theory for retinotectal map formation. How brains become wired up during development is a question of importance to both biology and computing. In this project we adopt a novel computational approach to understanding the development of topographic maps, a wiring pattern that is ubiquitous in biological nervous systems. This project will build capacity for research in computational neuroscience in Australia. It may also lead to technological benefits such as new ideas for the design of self-wiring computing devices, and new insights into the causes of wiring defects both during normal development and rewiring after injury.
