ON and OFF pathways in Drosophila motion vision

M Joesch, B Schnell, SV Raghu, DF Reiff, A Borst - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
Motion vision is a major function of all visual systems, yet the underlying neural mechanisms
and circuits are still elusive. In the lamina, the first optic neuropile of Drosophila …

[HTML][HTML] Response properties of motion-sensitive visual interneurons in the lobula plate of Drosophila melanogaster

M Joesch, J Plett, A Borst, DF Reiff - Current Biology, 2008 - cell.com
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 …

In vivo performance of genetically encoded indicators of neural activity in flies

…, A Ihring, G Guerrero, EY Isacoff, M Joesch… - Journal of …, 2005 - Soc Neuroscience
Genetically encoded fluorescent probes of neural activity represent new promising tools for
systems neuroscience. Here, we present a comparative in vivo analysis of 10 different …

[PDF][PDF] Ventro-dorsal hippocampal pathway gates novelty-induced contextual memory formation

…, MA Silva, P Koppensteiner, K Kobayashi, M Joesch… - Current Biology, 2021 - cell.com
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 …

[PDF][PDF] Internal structure of the fly elementary motion detector

H Eichner, M Joesch, B Schnell, DF Reiff, A Borst - Neuron, 2011 - cell.com
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 (…

Processing of Horizontal Optic Flow in Three Visual Interneurons of the Drosophila Brain

B Schnell, M Joesch, F Forstner… - Journal of …, 2010 - journals.physiology.org
Motion vision is essential for navigating through the environment. Due to its genetic amenability,
the fruit fly Drosophila has been serving for a lengthy period as a model organism for …

A neuronal circuit for colour vision based on rod–cone opponency

M Joesch, M Meister - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
In bright light, cone-photoreceptors are active and colour vision derives from a comparison of
signals in cones with different visual pigments. This comparison begins in the retina, where …

Optogenetic control of fly optomotor responses

V Haikala, M Joesch, A Borst… - Journal of …, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
When confronted with a large-field stimulus rotating around the vertical body axis, flies display
a following behavior called “optomotor response.” As neural control elements, the large …

Reconstruction of genetically identified neurons imaged by serial-section electron microscopy

M Joesch, D Mankus, M Yamagata, A Shahbazi… - elife, 2016 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.15015.001 Resolving patterns of synaptic connectivity in neural circuits currently
requires serial section electron microscopy. However, complete circuit reconstruction is …

[HTML][HTML] Functional specialization of parallel motion detection circuits in the fly

M Joesch, F Weber, H Eichner, A Borst - Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
In the fly Drosophila melanogaster, photoreceptor input to motion vision is split into two
parallel pathways as represented by first-order interneurons L1 and L2 (Rister et al., 2007; …
