许多动物从丰富的视觉场景中提取特定的线索来指导适当的行为。这种线索包括由自身运动和环境中移动物体产生的视觉运动信号。这些信号的复杂性要求神经回路将特定的运动模式与特定的行为反应联系起来。通过电生理记录,我们表征了果蝇视叶中的遗传识别神经元,这些神经元被专门调整以检测由与苍蝇碰撞过程中隐约可见的物体产生的运动信号。使用遗传操作来专门沉默这些神经元,我们证明了来自这些细胞的信号对于苍蝇有效地启动织机逃逸反应是重要的。此外,通过在这些细胞中靶向表达视紫红质,在失明的果蝇中,我们揭示了这些神经元的光遗传学刺激通常足以引起逃避,即使在没有任何视觉刺激的情况下。在这个紧凑的神经系统中,一小群神经元从局部运动输入中提取特定的视觉线索,以触发行为学上适当的行为反应。
Many animals extract specific cues from rich visual scenes to guide appropriate behaviors. Such cues include visual motion signals produced both by self movement and by moving objects in the environment. The complexity of these signals requires neural circuits to link particular patterns of motion to specific behavioral responses. Through electrophysiological recordings, we characterize genetically identified neurons in the optic lobe of Drosophila that are specifically tuned to detect motion signals produced by looming objects on a collision course with the fly. Using a genetic manipulation to specifically silence these neurons, we demonstrate that signals from these cells are important for flies to efficiently initiate the loom escape response. Moreover, through targeted expression of Channelrhodopsin in these cells, in flies that are blind, we reveal that optogenetic stimulation of these neurons is typically sufficient to elicit escape, even in the absence of any visual stimulus. In this compact nervous system, a small group of neurons that extract a specific visual cue from local motion inputs serve to trigger the ethologically appropriate behavioral response.
