CAREER: Deciphering how neural circuits extract and preprocess visual features for navigat — NSF Award to University of California
Many animals use information from vision when they navigate the world, yet we know surprisingly little about even the basic visual features that contribute to spatial and directional senses. For example, fruit flies rely on cues such as vertical stripes and polarized light to determine which direction to move. Yet, the

| Abstract | Many animals use information from vision when they navigate the world, yet we know surprisingly little about even the basic visual features that contribute to spatial and directional senses. For example, fruit flies rely on cues such as vertical stripes and polarized light to determine which direction to move. Yet, these visual features may represent only a fraction of those necessary for navigation. The main goal of this project is to understand the detailed network dynamics underlying visual p |
