New twists in the evolution of retinal direction selectivity.
In mammals, starburst amacrine cells are centrally involved in motion vision and a new study in PLOS Biology, by Yan and colleagues finds that zebrafish have them, too. They coexist with a second pair of starburst-like neurons, but neither appears to be strongly motion selective.
