Estimating Orientation of Flying Fruit Flies
The recently growing interest in studying flight behaviours of fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, has highlighted the need for developing tools that acquire quantitative motion data. Despite recent advance of video tracking systems, acquiring a flying fly's orientation remains a challenge for these tools. In this paper, we present a novel method for estimating individual flying fly's orienta...
متن کاملOptic flow induces spatial filtering in fruit flies
The discrete and random nature of light absorption dictates that, when photons are scarce, images suffer from low signal-to-noise ratios [1]. Nocturnal animals combat this by increasing photon catch, either optically, with large pupils, photoreceptors, and ever larger eyes [2], or neurally, with summation strategies, which sacrifice acuity and leave images blurry and slow [3]. Fast image motion...
متن کامل[Processes underlying young children's spatial orientation].
The purpose of this study was to investigate the processes underlying spatial orientation in 3-year-old children. After the subjects had seen the experimenter hide an object in one of the two hiding locations on a turntable, they were asked to indicate the location of the object under three conditions: (a) only the table is rotated up to 180 degrees by 45 degrees steps, (b) only the subject is ...
متن کاملAsymmetric flies
What are the sources of phenotypic variation and which factors shape this variation are fundamental questions of developmental and evolutionary biology. Despite this simple formulation and intense research, controversy remains. Three points are particularly discussed: (1) whether adaptive developmental mechanisms buffering variation exist at all; (2) if yes, do they involve specific genes and p...
متن کاملFruit flies and intellectual disability
Mental retardation—known more commonly nowadays as intellectual disability—is a severe neurological condition affecting up to 3% of the general population. As a result of the analysis of familial cases and recent advances in clinical genetic testing, great strides have been made in our understanding of the genetic etiologies of mental retardation. Nonetheless, no treatment is currently clinical...
