Computation of object approach by a system of visual motion-sensitive neurons in the crab Neohelice

D Oliva, D Tomsic - Journal of neurophysiology, 2014 - journals.physiology.org
Similar to most visual animals, crabs perform proper avoidance responses to objects directly
approaching them. The monostratified lobula giant neurons of type 1 (MLG1) of crabs …

Escape response of the crab Neohelice to computer generated looming and translational visual danger stimuli

F Scarano, D Tomsic - Journal of Physiology-Paris, 2014 - Elsevier
Historically, arthropod behavior has been considered to be a collection of simple, automaton-
like routines commanded by domain-specific brain modules working independently …

Spatiotemporal stimulus properties modulate responses to trajectory changes in a locust looming-sensitive pathway

PC Dick, JR Gray - Journal of Neurophysiology, 2014 - journals.physiology.org
The lobula giant movement detector (LGMD) and descending contralateral movement
detector (DCMD) constitute one motion-sensitive pathway in the locust visual system that is …

Neural organization of the second optic neuropil, the medulla, in the highly visual semiterrestrial crab Neohelice granulata

J Sztarker, D Tomsic - Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Crustaceans are widely distributed and inhabit very different niches. Many of them are highly
visual animals. Nevertheless, the neural composition of crustacean optic neuropils deeper …

Organization of columnar inputs in the third optic ganglion of a highly visual crab

M Bengochea, MB de Astrada - Journal of Physiology-Paris, 2014 - Elsevier
Motion information provides essential cues for a wide variety of animal behaviors such as
mate, prey, or predator detection. In decapod crustaceans and pterygote insects, visual …
