Synaptic organization of lobula plate tangential cells in Drosophila: Dalpha7 cholinergic receptors.

Journal of neurogenetics - 1 Jan 2009

Raghu Shamprasad Varija, Joesch Maximilian, Sigrist Stephan J, Borst Alexander, Reiff Dierk F

Abstract excerpt

The nervous system of seeing animals derives information about optic flow in two subsequent steps. First, local motion vectors are calculated from moving retinal images, and second, the spatial distribution of these vectors is analyzed on the dendrites of large downstream neurons. In dipteran flies, this second step relies on a set of motion-sensitive lobula plate tangential cells (LPTCs), which have been studied...
