Dr. Bryan Jones is a retinal neuroscientist whose scientific work involves understanding the topology of neural circuitry and what the evolution of neural circuitry can teach us about information processing. His work is funded through the study of disease and understanding how neural structure, organization, and circuitry changes in neurodegenerative disease.
Understanding how we perceive the world through neural circuits involved in vision is compelling enough to Dr. Jones, but understanding how neural circuits are altered in diseases like retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and Alzheimer’s drives his work.
