The Emergence of Directional Selectivity in the Visual Motion Pathway of Drosophila.

abstract：:Fear is a graded central motive state ranging from mild to intense. As threat intensity increases, fear transitions from discriminative to generalized. The circuit mechanisms that process threats of different intensity are not well resolved. Here, we isolate a unique population of locally projecting neurons in the cen...
