Seeing things in motion: models, circuits, and mechanisms
Motion vision provides essential cues for navigation and course control as well as for mate,
prey, or predator detection. Consequently, neurons responding to visual motion in a …

The computational worm: spatial orientation and its neuronal basis in C. elegans
SR Lockery - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2011 - Elsevier
Spatial orientation behaviors in animals are fundamental for survival but poorly understood
at the neuronal level. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans orients to a wide range of …

Defining the computational structure of the motion detector in Drosophila
Many animals rely on visual motion detection for survival. Motion information is extracted
from spatiotemporal intensity patterns on the retina, a paradigmatic neural computation. A …

Wiring economy and volume exclusion determine neuronal placement in the Drosophila brain
Wiring economy has successfully explained the individual placement of neurons in simple
nervous systems like that of Caenorhabditis elegans [1–3] and the locations of coarser …

Internal structure of the fly elementary motion detector
Recent experiments have shown that motion detection in Drosophila starts with splitting the
visual input into two parallel channels encoding brightness increments (ON) or decrements …

Cholinergic circuits integrate neighboring visual signals in a Drosophila motion detection pathway
Detecting motion is a feature of all advanced visual systems [1], nowhere more so than in
flying animals, like insects [2, 3]. In flies, an influential autocorrelation model for motion …

Faster thalamocortical processing for dark than light visual targets
ON and OFF visual pathways originate in the retina at the synapse between photoreceptor
and bipolar cells. OFF bipolar cells are shorter in length and use receptors with faster …

Neural correlates of illusory motion perception in Drosophila
JC Tuthill, ME Chiappe… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
When the contrast of an image flickers as it moves, humans perceive an illusory reversal in
the direction of motion. This classic illusion, called reverse-phi motion, has been well …
