Abstract: A recent study shows that retinal direction selectivity influences a subset of cells in primary visual cortex which respond to the optic flow associated with forward motion, while other cortical direction selective cells perform this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.1622
Abstract: Flying insects use compensatory head movements to stabilize gaze. Like other optokinetic responses, these movements can reduce image displacement, motion and misalignment, and simplify the optic flow field. Because gaze is imperfectly stabilized in insects,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.191957
Abstract: ABSTRACT The swallowtail butterfly Papilio xuthus can perceive the linear polarization of light. Using a novel polarization projection system, we recently demonstrated that P. xuthus can detect visual motion based on polarization contrast. In the… read more here.
