The paper identifies visual inputs to Kenyon cells in Drosophila mushroom bodies, showing sparse, distributed, and combinatorial coding similar to olfactory coding but with distinct input repertoires.

This study identifies hue-selective neurons in Drosophila and shows that recurrent connections are critical for hue selectivity in color vision.

The paper presents methods and software for designing visual stimuli based on photoreceptor spectral sensitivities across species.

The paper measures state- and stimulus-dependent filtering properties of inputs to the Drosophila T5 cell and uses a connectomic-constrained model to reconcile motion computation with the circuit's anatomy.

The paper identifies two chromatic encoding pathways in Drosophila photoreceptors, including a horizontal-cell-mediated pathway that expands chromatic encoding through lateral inhibition.
