Visual motion: Dendritic integration makes sense of the world
Flies use a system of specialised neurons to read the patterns of visual motion - optic flow - induced by the their movements. Recent experiments illustrate how the dendrites of these neurons reach out to assemble patterns of optic flow and encode them reliably.

Dendritic integration plays a key role in the way information is processed by nerve cells. The large motion-sensitive interneurons of the fly appear to be most appropriate for an investigation of this process. These cells are known to receive input from numerous local motion-sensitive elements and to control visually-guided optomotor responses (e.g., Trends Neurosci., 11 (1988) 351-358; Staveng...
