Facilitation of dragonfly target-detecting neurons by slow moving features on continuous paths
Dragonflies detect and pursue targets such as other insects for feeding and conspecific interaction. They have a class of neurons highly specialised for this task in their lobula, the ‘small target motion detecting’ (STMD) neurons. One such neuron, CSTMD1, reaches maximum response slowly over hundre...
