The locomotor activity patterns of the Drosophila melanogaster brain mutants optomotor
blind (omb), lobula plateless (lop), minibrain (mnb), small optic lobes (sol), sine oculir (so) …

Giant motion-sensitive tangential neurons in the lobula plate are thought to be cardinal
elements in the oculomotor pathways of flies. However, these large neurons do not …

We have used optical imaging based on intrinsic signals to explore the functional
architecture of owl monkey area MT, a cortical region thought to be involved primarily in …

In the fruit fly optic lobe, T4 and T5 cells represent the first direction-selective neurons, with
T4 cells responding selectively to moving brightness increments (ON) and T5 cells to …

Motion vision is an ancient faculty, critical to many animals in a range of ethological contexts,
the underlying algorithms of which provide central insights into neural computation …

Wide-field motion-sensitive neurons in the lobula plate (lobula plate tangential cells, LPTCs)
of the fly have been studied for decades. However, it has never been conclusively shown …

Understanding how complex brain wiring is produced during development is a daunting
challenge. In Drosophila, information from 800 retinal ommatidia is processed in distinct …

Visual motion cues provide animals with critical information about their environment and
guide a diverse array of behaviors. The neural circuits that carry out motion estimation …

Anatomical methods have identified conserved neuronal morphologies and synaptic
relationships among small‐field retinotopic neurons in insect optic lobes. These conserved …

Understanding how activity patterns in specific neural circuits coordinate an animal's
behavior remains a key area of neuroscience research. Genetic tools and a brain of …
