“Insights into the Neural Code of Vision from Mice, Flies and AI”

Judith Hoeller, PhD
Postdoctoral Scientist 04
Romani Lab
Janelia Research Group

At Janelia, Hoeller collaborates with the Pachitariu Lab to study population responses of visual neurons in mice to slanted, textured, flat walls. She finds evidence that, as walls rotate in 3D space, population responses rotate in a higher-dimensional space, independent of the texture on the wall. She is working with the Reiser Lab to study visual processing in the fly. Using a 3D reconstructed fly brain from electron microscopy slices, she recently started to categorize visual neurons into different cell-types and formulate hypothesis about their computations based on the neurons’ morphology and connectivity.
