Abstract:The Drosophila visual system is a powerful model to study the development of neural circuits. Projection neurons that relay visual information from the lobula part of the optic lobe to the central brain (the lobula columnar neurons-LCNs), are thought to encode different visual features relevant to natural behavior. There are ~20 classes of LCNs whose projections form highly specific, non-overlapping synaptic domains in the brain called optic glomeruli. Although functional investigations of several LCN circuits… Show more
