Brain development and information processing

Prof. Geoffrey Goodhill is interested in how brains process information, particularly during development.

This includes how growing nerve fibres use molecular cues to make guidance decisions, how map-like representations of visual inputs form in the optic tectum and visual cortex, and how these maps code sensory information.

His research team uses a combination of mathematical, experimental and computational techniques to help test hypotheses about the biological mechanisms that drive these changes over development.
