How stem cells produce the huge diversity of neurons that form the visual system, and how
these cells are assembled in neural circuits are a critical question in developmental …

Highlights•The Drosophila visual system is an emerging model for neural circuit
formation.•The visual system is composed of repetitive units that are repeated across …

The assembly of neural circuits relies on the accurate establishment of connections between
synaptic partners. Precise wiring results from responses that neurons elicit to environmental …

The ability of vertebrates and insects to perceive and process information about the visual
world is mediated by neural circuits, which share a strikingly conserved architecture of …

In the developing nervous system, building a functional neuronal network relies on
coordinating the formation, specification and survival to diverse neuronal and glial cell …

The brain areas that endow insects with the ability to see consist of remarkably complex
neural circuits. Reiterated arrays of many diverse neuron subtypes are assembled into …

Both insect and vertebrate visual circuits are organized into orderly arrays of columnar and
layered synaptic units that correspond to the array of photoreceptors in the eye. Recent …
