… In each subunit, the signal derived from one sampling point is low-pass filtered (LP) and
subsequently multiplied (M) with the instantaneous signal derived from the neighbouring point. …

The crystalline-like structure of the optic lobes of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has
made them a model system for the study of neuronal cell-fate determination, axonal path …

Recent experiments have shown that motion detection in Drosophila starts with splitting the
visual input into two parallel channels encoding brightness increments (ON) or decrements (…

… Its absorption spectrum is close to that of the M-cone pigment and indistinguishable by our
… S and M pigments. Note that the mouse has 3 photoreceptor types, but the rod and M cone …

… Electrodes were filled with a 10 mM Alexa Fluor 594 solution (A10442; Invitrogen, Karlsruhe,
Germany) and backfilled with 2 M KAc/0.5 M KCl solution. Impaled cells were loaded by …

… Increasing the extracellular calcium concentration to 10 mm (J, light gray trace) resulted in
a degradation of the fluorescence signal that we cannot explain. FP-expressing animals (n > …

… containing 1 mm all-trans-retinal (ATR; R2500; Sigma-Aldrich). Preparation and recording

Novelty facilitates memory formation and is detected by both the dorsal and ventral hippocampus.
Although dentate granule cells (GCs) in the dorsal hippocampus are known to mediate …

… The brightness values used for OFF and ON stimuli were 0 cd/m 2 and 64 cd/m 2 ,
respectively. They started off from an intermediate level of 16 cd/m 2 which also applied to the …
