Reciprocal inhibitory connections within a neural network for rotational optic-flow processing

Neurons in the visual system of the blowfly have large receptive fields that are selective for specific optic flow fields. Here, we studied the neural mechanisms underlying flow-field selectivity in proximal Vertical System (VS)-cells, a particular subset of tangential cells in the fly. These cells...
