Motion vision is independent of color in Drosophila.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 25 Mar 2008

Yamaguchi Satoko, Wolf Reinhard, Desplan Claude, Heisenberg Martin

Abstract excerpt

Whether motion vision uses color contrast is a controversial issue that has been investigated in several species, from insects to humans. We used Drosophila to answer this question, monitoring the optomotor response to moving color stimuli in WT and genetic variants. In the fly eye, a motion channel (outer photoreceptors R1-R6) and a color channel (inner photoreceptors R7 and R8) have been distinguished. With...
