Visuomotor control: Drosophila bridges the gap
Abstract
Fruit flies with genetic lesions disrupting the structure of a brain region known as the protocerebral bridge fail to aim their movements correctly when crossing gaps, implicating this central brain neuropile in the visual control of goal-directed behaviour.
