Many insects use patterns of polarized light in the sky to orient and navigate. Here, we
functionally characterize neural circuitry in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, that conveys …

The use of vision to coordinate behavior requires an efficient control design that stabilizes the
world on the retina or directs the gaze towards salient features in the surroundings. With a …

The direction-selective T4/T5 cells innervate optic-flow processing projection neurons in the
lobula plate of the fly that mediate the visual control of locomotion. In the lobula, visual …

Many animals use the visual motion generated by traveling straight—the translatory optic
flow—to successfully navigate obstacles: near objects appear larger and to move more quickly …

Sensory systems rely on neuromodulators, such as serotonin, to provide flexibility for
information processing as stimuli vary, such as light intensity throughout the day. Serotonergic …

The optokinetic nystagmus is a gaze-stabilizing mechanism reducing motion blur by rapid
eye rotations against the direction of visual motion, followed by slower syndirectional eye …

Gaze stabilization reflexes reduce motion blur and simplify the processing of visual information
by keeping the eyes level. These reflexes typically depend on estimates of the rotational …

Many animals use the visual motion generated by travelling straight, the translatory optic
flow, to successfully navigate obstacles: near objects appear larger and to move more quickly …

In flying insects the stabilization of gaze aids visual processing by reducing motion blur, for
instance, and facilitating self-motion estimation. The gaze control system in blowflies makes …

Ciliary trafficking defects are the underlying cause of many ciliopathies, including Retinitis
Pigmentosa (RP). Anterograde intraflagellar transport (IFT) is mediated by kinesin motor …
