Image Description
Professor Paul Martin has transformed our understanding of evolution and function of the visual system. His work shows how evolutionarily ancient visual pathways, that were considered vestigial in the brains of humans and monkeys, contribute to diverse and important visual functions such as colour vision and movement perception. These pathways begin in the eye, and project centrally via the lateral geniculate nucleus, a structure that Professor Martin's work revealed to be a much more than a humble relay nucleus.
