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

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 …

Confronted with an ever-changing visual landscape, animals must be able to detect relevant
stimuli and translate this information into behavioral output. A visual scene contains an …

Highlights•We describe recent advances in the field of visual processing in Drosophila.•We
present in detail the neuronal circuits underlying four visual modalities.•Motion vision …

The neural circuitry of motion processing in insects, as in primates, involves the segregation
of different types of visual information into parallel retinotopic pathways that subsequently …

Understanding how sensory stimuli drive behavior requires a detailed understanding of the
molecular and neural nature through which the stimuli are received and processed. The …

Like the mammalian visual cortex, the fly visual system is organized into retinotopic columns
[1, 2]. A widely accepted biophysical model for computing visual motion, the elementary …

Vision is essential to maximize the efficiency of daily tasks such as feeding, avoiding
predators or finding mating partners. An advantageous model is Drosophila melanogaster …

Dragonflies represent an ancient lineage of visual predators, which last shared a common
ancestor with insect groups such as dipteran flies in the early Devonian, 406 million years …

The sensory tasks performed by the eye are diverse and complex. In Drosophila, the eye
performs motion detection for navigation as well as detection of the quality of light (color and …
