Fruit flies use vision to head toward interesting things, but also to stay steady during flight. To accomplish this, the eyes need to fixate on the visual background while noticing objects that might ...

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of neural connections between the insect’s eyes and the navigation center of its ...

Research led by Peking University, China, has discovered a single type of retinal photoreceptor cell in Drosophila (fruit fly) is involved in both visual perception and circadian photoentrainment by ...

Janelia scientists and collaborators have released a comprehensive wiring diagram of the fruit fly visual system. The Drosophila optic lobe connectome provides a map of the more than 50,000 neurons ...

Millions of neuron contacts comprise these visual maps that need to be wired properly in the early stages for normal vision in the adult stage The visual maps in the brains of vertebrates and fruit ...
