Andres-Bragado, Lucia de Sprecher, Simon G. 2019-12-01 Vision is essential to maximize the efficiency of daily tasks such as feeding, avoiding predators or finding mating partners. An advantageous model is Drosophila melanogaster, since it offers tools that allow genetic and neuronal manipulation with high spatial and temporal resolution, which can be combined with behavioral, anatomical and physiological assays. Recent advances have expanded our knowledge on the neural circuitry underlying such important behaviors as color vision (role of reciprocal inhibition to enhance color signal at the level of the ommatidia); motion vision (motion-detection neurones receive both excitatory and inhibitory input), and sensory processing (role of the central complex in spatial navigation, and in orchestrating the information from other senses and the inner state). Research on synergies between pathways is shaping the field. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/308348 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/308348/files/spr_mvf.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1016/j.cois.2019.06.005 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Current Opinion in Insect Science. - 2019, vol. 36, p. 25–32 info:eu-repo/classification/udc/57 Mechanisms of vision in the fruit fly http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
