system of insect neurons sensitive to horizontal and vertical image motion connects the medulla and midbrain

The response properties and gross morphologies of neurons that connect the medulla and mid-brain in the butterfly Papilio aegeus are described. The neurons presented give direction-selective responses, i.e. they are excited by motion in the preferred direction and the background activity of the cell...
