Understanding how neural circuits underlie behaviour is challenging even in the
connectome era because it requires a combination of anatomical and functional analyses …

Visual organs perceive environmental stimuli required for rapid initiation of behaviors and
can also entrain the circadian clock. The larval eye of Drosophila is capable of both …

Some animals are attracted by sun light, others are highly repulsed by it. Especially for
slowly moving animals, such as Drosophila larvae, direct sunlight may be perceived as …

ABSTRACT ON and OFF selectivity in visual processing is encoded by parallel pathways
that respond to either increments or decrements of light. Despite lacking anatomical features …

Organisms possess an endogenous molecular clock which enables them to adapt to
environmental rhythms and to synchronize their metabolism and behavior accordingly …

Short-wavelength light guides many behaviors that are crucial for an insect's survival. In
Drosophila melanogaster, short-wavelength light induces both attraction and avoidance …

Understanding how sensory stimuli drive behavior requires a detailed understanding of the
molecular and neural nature through which the stimuli are received and processed. The …

The innate preference behaviors of animals can be modified by external environmental
conditions. In Drosophila for example, the preference for food and temperature are …

ON and OFF selectivity in visual processing is encoded by parallel pathways that respond to
either light increments or decrements. Despite lacking the anatomical features to support …
