چکیده
A wide range of novel approaches are being used to dissect the visual system of the fly, both the neural networks of motion detection and the performance of these networks under complex natural stimulus conditions.

Computation Optical Flow Using Pipeline Architecture
Accurate estimation of motion from time-varying imagery has been a popular problem in vision studies, This information can be used in segmentation, 3D motion and shape recovery, target tracking, and other problems in scene analysis and interpretation. We have presented a dynamic image model for estimating image motion from image sequences, and have shown how the solution can be obtained from a ...
متن کاملContributions of the 12 Neuron Classes in the Fly Lamina to Motion Vision
Motion detection is a fundamental neural computation performed by many sensory systems. In the fly, local motion computation is thought to occur within the first two layers of the visual system, the lamina and medulla. We constructed specific genetic driver lines for each of the 12 neuron classes in the lamina. We then depolarized and hyperpolarized each neuron type and quantified fly behaviora...
متن کاملFeatures and dimensions: Motion estimation in fly vision
We characterize the computation of motion in the fly visual system as a mapping from the high dimensional space of signals in the retinal photodetector array to the probability of generating an action potential in a motion sensitive neuron. Our approach to this problem identifies a low dimensional subspace of signals within which the neuron is most sensitive, and then samples this subspace to v...
متن کاملDirect Observation of ON and OFF Pathways in the Drosophila Visual System
Visual motion perception is critical to many animal behaviors, and flies have emerged as a powerful model system for exploring this fundamental neural computation. Although numerous studies have suggested that fly motion vision is governed by a simple neural circuit [1-3], the implementation of this circuit has remained mysterious for decades. Connectomics and neurogenetics have produced a surg...
متن کاملMotion Detection: Neuronal Circuit Meets Theory
Motion detection in fly vision has been investigated experimentally and theoretically for half of a century, yet mechanistic insights into the neuronal computation have only started to emerge. In a recent issue of Nature, two studies provide major insights into how motion direction is extracted from the image flow projected onto the retina.
