CELEBRATING A CAREER OF EXCELLENCE: Dr. Carol Mason Receives Krieg Lifetime Achievement Award
Dr. Carol Mason at Columbia's Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute studies the circuitry of the visual system. She focuses on the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which extend from the retina to the thalamus and midbrain, where signals are sent to the visual stations in the cortex. Half of the RGCs send their axons to the same side of the brain while the other half cross over, allowing for binocular vision. Dr. Mason is investigating how the axons know whether to cross over or remain on the same side at the optic chiasm.
