[Li Zhaoping]

Dear colleagues, 

I am pleased to share

Zhaoping, L. (2026) What are the functions of primary visual cortex (V1)?  in Current Opinions of Neurobiology,    98:103209

the emerging answers have additionally helped to ask "What is vision?", see 

Zhaoping, L. (2026) Vision as looking and seeing through a bottleneck  in Current Opinions of Neurobiology,  98:103211

both articles and other relevant information in this website, happy to hear your feedback, to provide more information, and to discuss.

best, 

Li Zhaoping
