The eyes of the fly have been extensively studied at both the structural and the cellular level. Up to the present, however, this data has not been utilized to develop a comprehensive model of its eye. With the presentation of a model for the sensory portion of the fly's eye, this paper describes some initial steps towards the development of a comprehensive model. The effectiveness of the model is addressed through a comparison of its performance with that found in experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
