Despite their miniature brains insects, such as flies, bees and wasps, are able to navigate by
highly erobatic flight maneuvers in cluttered environments. They rely on spatial information …

The Hassenstein–Reichardt autocorrelation model for motion computation was derived
originally from studies of optomotor turning reactions of beetles and further refined from …

In a variety of species locomotor activity, like walking or flying, has been demonstrated to
alter visual information processing. The neuromodulator octopamine was shown to change …

If one modestly wishes to investigate some" sample of integrative action in a complex
nervous structure"(84), insect compound eyes are particularly suitable samples to use. They …

Neural implementations of visual behaviors in Drosophila have been dissected intensively
in the past couple of decades. The availability of premiere genetic toolkits, behavioral …

Originally a genetic model organism, the experimental use of Drosophila melanogaster has
grown to include quantitative behavioral analyses, sophisticated perturbations of neuronal …

Animals use binocular information to guide many behaviors. In highly visual arthropods,
complex binocular computations involved in processing panoramic optic flow generated …

Based on comparative anatomical studies and electrophysiological experiments, we have
identified a conserved subset of neurons in the lamina, medulla, and lobula of dipterous …

As insects move through tortuous, unpredictable terrain, their neural system allows them to
exhibit striking adaptability and researchers must use every technique at their disposal to …
