Sensory systems sequentially extract increasingly complex features. ON and OFF pathways,
for example, encode increases or decreases of a stimulus from a common input. This …

Highlights•Behavioral decisions require interactions between regions throughout the fly
brain.•Three paths convey distinct visual information to central brain areas.•Optic glomeruli …

ON and OFF selectivity in visual processing is encoded by parallel pathways that respond to
either light increments or decrements. Despite lacking the anatomical features to support …

Drosophila melanogaster are a good system in which to understand the minimal
requirements for widespread visually guided behaviours such as navigation, due to their …

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

All organisms wishing to survive and reproduce must be able to respond adaptively to a
complex, changing world. Yet the computational power available is constrained by biology …

Background Many animals extract specific cues from rich visual scenes to guide appropriate
behaviors. Such cues include visual motion signals produced both by self-movement and by …

Compared with connections between the retinae and primary visual centers, relatively less
is known in both mammals and insects about the functional segregation of neural pathways …

INTRODUCTION Neuronal fate decisions must be coordinated across brain regions so that
the proper stoichiometry of distinct afferents and their target neurons is established. Many …
