New insights into the diversity and function of neuronal immunoglobulin superfamily molecules
Article Abstract:
A review of the findings on the diversity and the role of transmembrane and secreted members of immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) proteins in the nervous system are presented. In addition, the complexity of IgSF protein function that results from various different levels of regulation including regulation of gene expression, protein localization, and protein interactions, is illustrated

Coding of auditory space
Article Abstract:
The barn owl has arguably emerged as an excellent model for the study of sound localization because behavioral, anatomical, and physiological approaches can be integrated in their study. With the use of either the isomorphic map of auditory space in the midbrain or forebrain neural networks in which space is not mapped, owls can localize sounds.

Color vision
Article Abstract:
Color vision and its process starting from the absorption of light in the retinal cone photoreceptors, which transduce electromagnetic energy into electrical voltages, is described. A complicated network of cells in the retina transforms the voltages into action potentials.
