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 …

Visual motion perception is critical to many animal behaviors, and flies have emerged as a
powerful model system for exploring this fundamental neural computation. Although …

Visual systems extract directional motion information from spatiotemporal luminance
changes on the retina. An algorithmic model, the Reichardt detector, accounts for this by …

The detection of visual motion enables sophisticated animal navigation, and studies on flies
have provided profound insights into the cellular and circuit bases of this neural …

In the fly Drosophila melanogaster, photoreceptor input to motion vision is split into two
parallel pathways as represented by first-order interneurons L1 and L2 (Rister et al., 2007; …

In the visual system of Drosophila, photoreceptors R1–R6 relay achromatic brightness
information to five parallel pathways. Two of them, the lamina monopolar cells L1 and L2 …

Whether motion vision uses color contrast is a controversial issue that has been investigated
in several species, from insects to humans. We used Drosophila to answer this question …

Visual motion cues are used by many animals to guide navigation across a wide range of
environments. Long-standing theoretical models have made predictions about the …

In the visual system, peripheral processing circuits are often tuned to specific stimulus
features. How this selectivity arises and how these circuits are organized to inform specific …

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 …
