متن کاملResponse Properties of Motion-Sensitive Visual Interneurons in the Lobula Plate of Drosophila melanogaster
The crystalline-like structure of the optic lobes of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has made them a model system for the study of neuronal cell-fate determination, axonal path finding, and target selection. For functional studies, however, the small size of the constituting visual interneurons has so far presented a formidable barrier. We have overcome this problem by establishing in viv...
متن کاملPreparation of Drosophila central neurons for in situ patch clamping.
Short generation times and facile genetic techniques make the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster an excellent genetic model in fundamental neuroscience research. Ion channels are the basis of all behavior since they mediate neuronal excitability. The first voltage gated ion channel cloned was the Drosophila voltage gated potassium channel Shaker(1,2). Toward understanding the role of ion channel...
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...
متن کاملVisual motion-detection circuits in flies: parallel direction- and non-direction-sensitive pathways between the medulla and lobula plate.
The neural circuitry of motion processing in insects, as in primates, involves the segregation of different types of visual information into parallel retinotopic pathways that subsequently are reunited at higher levels. In insects, achromatic, motion-sensitive pathways to the lobula plate are separated from color-processing pathways to the lobula. Further parallel subdivisions of the retinotopi...
