Many arthropods, notably spiders, decapod crustaceans, and insects have excellent visual
systems that allow them to evaluate self-movement and environmental features in many …

In insects, as in vertebrates, neuroanatomical, electrophysiological, and modelling studies
have provided insights regarding identities and connections among neurones that …

Insects use vision to choose from a repertoire of flexible behaviors which they perform for
survival. Decisions for behavioral plasticity are achieved through the neuromodulation of …

Sensory neurons are mostly studied in fixed animals, but their response properties might
change when the animal is free to move. Indeed, recent studies found differences between …

Visual motion cues provide animals with critical information about their environment and
guide a diverse array of behaviors. The neural circuits that carry out motion estimation …

Motion vision provides essential cues for navigation and course control as well as for mate,
prey, or predator detection. Consequently, neurons responding to visual motion in a …

Neurobiological and neuroethological findings on insects can be used to design and
construct small robots controlling their navigation on the basis of bio-inspired visual …

It is now generally accepted for a variety of reasons-morphological as well as physiologica-
that the visual systems of arthropods provide a suitable model for the study of information …

Retinal image motion is elicited when a moving object crosses the visual field ('object
motion'). However, even if the outside world is stationary there is continuous image flow on …
