Species-specific flight styles of flies are reflected in the response dynamics of a homologue motion sensitive neuron

Hoverflies and blowflies have distinctly different flight styles. Yet, both species have been shown to structure their flight behaviour in a way that facilitates extraction of 3D information from the image flow on the retina (optic flow). Neuronal candidates to analyse the optic flow are the tangent...
