An important strategy for efficient neural coding is to match the range of cellular responses to
the distribution of relevant input signals. However, the structure and relevance of sensory …

The behavioral state of an animal can dynamically modulate visual processing. In flies, the
behavioral state is known to alter the temporal tuning of neurons that carry visual motion …

Animal sensory systems are optimally adapted to those features typically encountered in
natural surrounds, thus allowing neurons with limited bandwidth to encode challengingly …

Several fundamental aspects of motion vision circuitry are prevalent across flies and mice.
Both taxa segregate ON and OFF signals. For any given spatial pattern, motion detectors in …

When a human catches a ball, they estimate future target location based on the current
trajectory. How animals, small and large, encode such predictive processes at the single …

When navigating in their environment, animals use visual motion cues as feedback signals
that are elicited by their own motion. Such signals are provided by wide-field neurons …

Natural vision is dynamic: as an animal moves, its visual input changes dramatically. How
can the visual system reliably extract local features from an input dominated by self …

An approaching predator and self-motion toward an object can generate similar looming
patterns on the retina, but these situations demand different rapid responses. How central …

Retinal networks must adapt constantly to best present the ever changing visual world to the
brain. Here we test the hypothesis that adaptation is a result of different mechanisms at …

Dragonflies pursue and capture tiny prey and conspecifics with extremely high success
rates. These moving targets represent a small visual signal on the retina and successful …
