Connectomics has become a standard neuroscience methodology in a few model animals,
1 with the visual system being a popular target of study. 2–5 Combining connectomics with …

By measuring insect compensatory optomotor reflexes to visual motion, researchers have
examined the computational mechanisms of the motion processing system. However …

Flying generates predictably different patterns of optic flow compared with other locomotor
states. A sensorimotor system tuned to rapid responses and a high bandwidth of optic flow …

THE COMPOUND lateral eye of Limulus has become a classical preparation for the study of
visual physiology (73). It performs some of the simpler functions of more highly developed …

Both the lamina and the medulla are arrays of parallel neural subunits, each primarily
receiving an input from a single retinal sampling element. Every subunit contains several …

Highlights•Visual and multimodal memory of locations could be stored in the mushroom
bodies.•Central complex provides aspatial reference frame for integration of directional …

Like other araneans, the wandering spider Cupiennius salei is equipped with one pair of
principal eyes and three pairs of secondary eyes. Primary and secondary eyes serve two …

A compact genome and a tiny brain make Drosophila the prime model to understand the
neural substrate of behavior. The neurogenetic efforts to reveal neural circuits underlying …

With a visual system that accounts for as much as 30% of the lifted mass, flying insects such
as dragonflies and hoverflies invest more in vision than any other animal. Impressive visual …

Nervous systems encode information about dynamically changing sensory input by changes
in neuronal activity. Neuronal activity changes, however, also arise from noise sources …
