The visual systems of insects are exquisitely sensitive to motion. Over the past 40 years or
so, motion processing in insects has been studied and characterised primarily through the …

Taking a comparative approach, data from a range of visual species are discussed in the
context of ideas about mechanisms of motion detection. The cellular basis of motion …

Over the last half century, work with flies, bees, and moths have revealed a number of visual
guidance strategies for controlling different aspects of flight. Some algorithms, such as the …

Hummingbirds possess an array of morphological and physiological specializations that
allow them hover such that they maintain a stable position in space for extended periods …

How are the complex maps for orientation selectivity (OS) created in the primary visual
cortex (V1)? Rodents and rabbits have a random distribution of OS preferences across V1 …

Optokinetic responses function to maintain retinal image stabilization by minimizing optic
flow that occurs during self-motion. The hovering ability of hummingbirds is an extreme …

Visual systems are typically selective in their response to movement. This attribute facilitates
the identification of functionally important motion events. Here we show that the complex …

Neurons in animal visual systems that respond to global optic flow exhibit selectivity for
motion direction and/or velocity. The avian lentiformis mesencephali (LM), known in …

The cortical area V6A, located in the dorsal part of the anterior bank of the parieto-occipital
sulcus, contains retino-and craniocentric visual neurones together with neurones sensitive …

Neurons in the pretectal nucleus lentiformis mesencephali (LM) are involved in the analysis
of optic flow that results from self-motion. Previous studies have shown that LM neurons …
