Visual projection neurons in the Drosophila lobula link feature detection to distinct behavioral programs

Visual projection neurons in the Drosophila lobula link feature detection to distinct behavioral programs

Visual projection neurons (VPNs) provide an anatomical connection between early visual processing and higher brain regions. Here we characterize lobula columnar (LC) cells, a class of Drosophila VPNs that project to distinct central brain structures called optic glomeruli. We anatomically describe 2...
