The physiology and morphology of visual interneurons in the lobula complex of the fleshfly, Boettcherisca peregrina, were studied using intracellular recordings and intracellular cobalt stainings, respectively. Using responses to movements of a spot of light and on-off stimuli at single positions, we classified the interneurons into five physiological groups ON, OFF, ON-OFF, nondirectional motion sensitive (NDM) and directional motion sensitive (DM) neurons. They could be further divided into four morphological types, depending on the location and extent of their dendrites and terminal branches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
