We have identified a set of larval neurones in the developing adult optic lobes of Drosophila
by selectively labelling cells that have undergone only a few mitoses. A cluster of three cells …

The task of the visual system is to translate light into neuronal encoded information. This
translation of photons into neuronal signals is achieved by photoreceptor neurons (PRs) …

Detecting motion is a feature of all advanced visual systems [1], nowhere more so than in
flying animals, like insects [2, 3]. In flies, an influential autocorrelation model for motion …

In what seems to us a remarkable oversight in the literature on this topic, the authors of most
textbook accounts of neurobiology continue to portray the organization of synaptic junctions …

Optic cartridges of the first synaptic region of the fly's visual system are interconnected by a
set of collaterals derived from the L4 monopolar cells. These neurones are the only efferent …

Golgi staining of neuronal cell types in the optic lobe rudiments of adult eyeless flies of the
sine oculis (so) mutant of Drosophila melanogaster reveals partial independence of optic …

The lobula plate in the optic lobe of the fly brain is a high‐order processing center for visual
information. Within the lobula plate lie a small number of giant neurons that are responsible …

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 lateral protocerebrum of the fly's brain is composed of a system of optic glomeruli, the
organization of which compares to that of antennal lobe glomeruli. Each optic glomerulus …

In the eye, visual information is segregated into modalities such as color and motion, these
being transferred to the central brain through separate channels. Here, we genetically …
