How neurons detect the direction of motion is a prime example of neural computation:
Motion vision is found in the visual systems of virtually all sighted animals, it is important for …

Originally a genetic model organism, the experimental use of Drosophila melanogaster has
grown to include quantitative behavioral analyses, sophisticated perturbations of neuronal …

In most animal species, vision is mediated by compound eyes, which offer lower resolution
than vertebrate single-lens eyes, but significantly larger fields of view with negligible …

The extraction of directional motion information from changing retinal images is one of the
earliest and most important processing steps in any visual system. In the fly optic lobe, two …

The algorithms and neural circuits that process spatio-temporal changes in luminance to
extract visual motion cues have been the focus of intense research. An influential model, the …

Motion-sensitive neurons have long been studied in both the mammalian retina and the
insect optic lobe, yet striking similarities have become obvious only recently. Detailed …

Detecting the direction of image motion is a fundamental component of visual computation,
essential for survival of the animal. However, at the level of individual photoreceptors, the …

Fly motion vision and resultant compensatory optomotor responses are a classic example
for neural computation. Here we review our current understanding of processing of optic flow …

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 …

Flying insects are able to fly smartly in an unpredictable environment. It has been found that
flying insects have smart neurons inside their tiny brains that are sensitive to visual motion …
