Impact of stride-coupled gaze shifts of walking blowflies on the neuronal representation of visual targets

During locomotion animals rely heavily on visual cues gained from the environment to guide their behavior. Examples are basic behaviors like collision avoidance or the approach to a goal. The saccadic gaze strategy of flying flies, which separates translational from rotational phases of locomotion,...
