Reliability of a fly motion-sensitive neuron depends on stimulus parameters.
The variability of responses of sensory neurons constrains how reliably animals can respond to stimuli in the outside world. We show for a motion-sensitive visual interneuron of the fly that the variability of spike trains depends on the properties of the motion stimulus, although differently for different stimulus parameters. (1) The spike count variances of responses to constant and to dynami...
متن کاملResponse latency of a motion-sensitive neuron in the fly visual system: dependence on stimulus parameters and physiological conditions
The response latency of an identified motion-sensitive neuron in the blowfly visual system strongly depends on stimulus parameters. The latency decreases with increasing contrast and temporal frequency of a moving pattern, but changes only little when the pattern size and thus the number of activated inputs is increased. The latency does not only depend on visual stimuli, but is also affected b...
متن کاملOctopaminergic modulation of temporal frequency tuning of a fly visual motion-sensitive neuron depends on adaptation level
Several recent studies in invertebrates as well as vertebrates have demonstrated that neuronal response characteristics of sensory neurons can be profoundly affected by an animal's locomotor activity. The functional consequences of such state-dependent modulation have been a matter of intense debate. In flies, a particularly interesting finding was that tethered walking or flying causes not onl...
متن کاملEncoding of yaw in the presence of distractor motion: studies in a fly motion sensitive neuron.
Motion estimation is crucial for aerial animals such as the fly, which perform fast and complex maneuvers while flying through a 3-D environment. Motion-sensitive neurons in the lobula plate, a part of the visual brain, of the fly have been studied extensively for their specialized role in motion encoding. However, the visual stimuli used in such studies are typically highly simplified, often m...
متن کاملElectrical coupling of lobula plate tangential cells to a heterolateral motion-sensitive neuron in the fly.
Many motion-sensitive tangential cells of the lobula plate in blowflies are well described with respect to their visual response properties and the connectivity among them. In addition to extensive connections between tangential cells within the lobula plate of one brain hemisphere, there exist many connections between the two hemispheres. Most of these connections have been found for neurons s...
