Neural Circuit Components of the Drosophila OFF Motion Vision Pathway
BACKGROUND Detecting the direction of visual motion is an essential task of the early visual system. The Reichardt detector has been proven to be a faithful description of the underlying computation in insects. A series of recent studies addressed the neural implementation of the Reichardt detector in Drosophila revealing the overall layout in parallel ON and OFF channels, its input neurons fro...
متن کاملCandidate Neural Substrates for Off-Edge Motion Detection in Drosophila
BACKGROUND In the fly's visual motion pathways, two cell types-T4 and T5-are the first known relay neurons to signal small-field direction-selective motion responses [1]. These cells then feed into large tangential cells that signal wide-field motion. Recent studies have identified two types of columnar neurons in the second neuropil, or medulla, that relay input to T4 from L1, the ON-channel n...
متن کاملThe Color-Vision Circuit in the Medulla of Drosophila
BACKGROUND Color vision requires comparison between photoreceptors that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. In Drosophila, this is achieved by the inner photoreceptors (R7 and R8) that contain different rhodopsins. Two types of comparisons can occur in fly color vision: between the R7 (UV sensitive) and R8 (blue- or green sensitive) photoreceptor cells within one ommatidium (unit e...
متن کاملFly Vision: Moving Into the Motion Detection Circuit
The Reichardt detector model for fly motion vision has been around for more than 50 years, but a cellular implementation of the model has not yet been discovered. Detailed reconstruction of serial electron-microscopy sections has now revealed a circuit that might well provide the cellular basis for directional selectivity in motion vision.
متن کاملConserved neural circuit structure across Drosophila larval
7 Throughout an animal’s postembryonic development, neuronal circuits must maintain appropriate out8 put even as the body grows. The contribution of changes to circuit structure – neuronal morphology and 9 synaptic connectivity – to postembryonic circuit development remains unclear. Here, we used new and 10 existing serial section electron microscopy volumes to reconstruct and compare an identi...
