Multisensory integration enhances audiovisual responses in the Mauthner cell

This study investigates how audiovisual stimuli are integrated in the Mauthner cell, showing that stimulus properties like modality, intensity, and timing affect input summation and integration mechanisms.

Convergent escape behavior from distinct visual processing of impending collision in fish and grasshoppers

The paper compares how grasshoppers and goldfish detect collisions with accelerating vs. constant-speed stimuli, finding differences in neural sensitivity but similar escape behavior outcomes.

Approaching object acceleration differentially affects the predictions of neuronal collision-avoidance models

The paper tests how neuronal collision-avoidance models respond to accelerating versus constant-speed approaching objects, finding that predictions hold for some models but not others.
