Dedicated photoreceptor pathways in Drosophila larvae mediate navigation by processing either spatial or temporal cues

Dedicated photoreceptor pathways in Drosophila larvae mediate navigation by processing either spatial or temporal cues

The response of Drosophila larva to light depends on both spatial and temporal inputs. Here the authors show that Rhodopsin5 photoreceptors, but not Rhodopsin6 photoreceptors, are required for conveying spatial light cues.
