Visual interneurons in the median protocerebrum were electrophysiologically analysed.
Over half of the units responded to more than one modality (light, scent, sugar water). As the …

The neural circuitry of motion processing in insects, as in primates, involves the segregation
of different types of visual information into parallel retinotopic pathways that subsequently …

With their highly sensitive visual systems, nocturnal insects have evolved a remarkable
capacity to discriminate colors, orient themselves using faint celestial cues, fly unimpeded …

In fleshflies, Sarcophaga bullata, intracellular recording and Lucifer yellow dye‐filling have
revealed small‐field elements of sexually isomorphic retinotopic arrays in the lobula and …

To make a smooth touchdown when landing, an insect must be able to reliably control its
approach speed as well as its body and leg position—behaviors that are thought to be …

The response properties and gross morphologies of neurons that connect the medulla and
midbrain in the butterfly Papilio aegeus are described. The neurons presented give direction …

Visual perception is a primary modality for interacting with complex environments. Recent
work has shown that the brain and visual system of the honeybee is able, in some cases, to …

The central complex of the insect brain is a system of midline neuropils involved in
transforming sensory information into behavioral outputs. Genetic studies focusing on nerve …

There is increasing evidence that invertebrates such as flies display selective attention (van
Swinderen,), although parallel processing of simultaneous cues remains difficult to …

The color space of honeybees can be modeled with great precision since we know the
spectral sensitivities of the three receptor types very accurately. The predictions of the model …
