Interpopulation comparisons in species that show behavioural variations associated with
particular ecological disparities offer good opportunities for assessing how environmental …

Responding rapidly to visual stimuli is fundamental for many animals. For example,
predatory birds and insects alike have amazing target detection abilities, with incredibly …

When an animal rotates (whether it is an arthropod, a fish, a bird or a human) a drift of the
visual panorama occurs over its retina, termed optic flow. The image is stabilized by …

Decapod crustaceans, in particular semiterrestrial crabs, are highly visual animals that
greatly rely on visual information. Their responsiveness to visual moving stimuli, with …

In nature, crabs have a panoramic vision for the localization and perception of accelerating
motion from local segments to global view in order to guide reactive behaviours including …

The bistratified lobula giant type 1 (BLG1) neuron is an identified looming-sensitive neuron
in crab's visual brain that demonstrates special sensitivity to diving targets, or descending …

A major challenge in current neuroscience is to understand the concerted functioning of
distinct neurons involved in a particular behavior. This goal first requires achieving an …

Introduction Neohelice granulata crabs live in mudflats where they prey upon smaller crabs.
Predatory behavior can be elicited in the laboratory by a dummy moving at ground level in …

The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of our present knowledge about the feline
tecto-thalamo-basal ganglia cortical sensory pathway. We reviewed morphological and …

The visual neuropils (lamina, medulla, and lobula complex) of malacostracan crustaceans
and hexapods have many organizational principles, cell types, and functional properties in …
