A visual pathway for skylight polarization processing in Drosophila

A visual pathway for skylight polarization processing in Drosophila

Many insects use patterns of polarized light in the sky to orient and navigate. Here, we functionally characterize neural circuitry in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, that conveys polarized light signals from the eye to the central complex, a brain region essential for the fly’s sense of dir...
