Newly described visual interneurons in flies have sophisticated receptive field properties reminiscent of neurons in the mammalian visual cortex. The cells are well-suited to compute motion of conspecific females that male flies aerially intercept.
新发现的果蝇视觉中间神经元具有复杂的感受野特性,让人联想到哺乳动物视觉皮层中的神经元。这些细胞非常适合计算雄性果蝇在空中拦截的同种雌性的运动。
