Performance of fly visual interneurons during object fixation.

Neurons involved in the processing of optic flow are usually analyzed using stimuli designed by the experimenter. However, in real life optic flow depends on locomotive behavior. We characterized the performance of motion-sensitive neurons in the visual system of the fly using optic flow as occurring in behavioral situations during object fixation. Optic flow generated by tethered flying flies ...

Microsaccades Counteract Visual Fading during Fixation

Our eyes move continually, even while we fixate our gaze on an object. If fixational eye movements are counteracted, our perception of stationary objects fades completely, due to neural adaptation. Some studies have suggested that fixational microsaccades refresh retinal images, thereby preventing adaptation and fading. However, other studies disagree, and so the role of microsaccades remains u...

Implications of functionally different synaptic inputs for neuronal gain and computational properties of fly visual interneurons.

Neurons embedded in networks are thought to receive synaptic inputs that do not drive them on their own, but modulate the responsiveness to driving input. Although studies on brain slices have led to detailed knowledge of how nondriving input affects dendritic integration, its origin and functional implications remain unclear. We tackle this issue using an ensemble of fly wide-field visual inte...

Robustness of the tuning of fly visual interneurons to rotatory optic flow.

The sophisticated receptive field organization of motion-sensitive tangential cells in the visual system of the blowfly Calliphora vicina matches the structure of particular optic flow fields. Hypotheses on the tuning of particular tangential cells to rotatory self-motion are based on local motion measurements. So far, tangential cells have never been tested with global optic flow stimuli. Ther...

Graded responses and spiking properties of identified first-order visual interneurons of the fly compound eye.

1. We studied the graded and spiking properties of the "non-spiking" first-order visual interneurons of the fly compound eye in situ with the use of intracellular recordings. Iontophoretical QX-314 injections, Lucifer yellow marking, and (discontinuous) current-clamp method together with transfer function analysis were used to characterize the neural signal processing mechanisms in these neuron...
