Journal of neurophysiology.J Neurophysiol.2016 Mar 23:jn.00044.2016. doi: 10.1152/jn.00044.2016. [Epub ahead of print]
Individual neurons in several sensory systems receive synaptic inputs organized according to subcellular topographic maps. Yet, the fine structure of this topographic organization and its relation to dendritic morphology have not been studied in detail. Subcellular topography is expected to play a r

BACKGROUND: Elucidating the anatomy of neuronal circuits and localizing the synaptic connections between neurons, can give us important insights in how the neuronal circuits work. We are using serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBEM) to investigate the anatomy of a collision detection c

In Drosophila, color vision and wavelength-selective behaviors are mediated by the compound eye's narrow-spectrum photoreceptors R7 and R8 and their downstream medulla projection (Tm) neurons Tm5a, Tm5b, Tm5c, and Tm20 in the second optic neuropil or medulla. These chromatic Tm neurons project axons
