Neural coding in the visual system of Drosophila melanogaster: How do small neural populations support visually guided behaviours?
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 …

Loom-sensitive neurons link computation to action in the Drosophila visual system
SEJ De Vries, TR Clandinin - Current Biology, 2012 - cell.com

ON selectivity in the Drosophila visual system is a multisynaptic process involving both glutamatergic and GABAergic inhibition
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 …
