Coding of sky-compass information in neurons of the anterior optic tubercle of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria

The primary aim of my Doctoral thesis project was to test through intracellular recordings the hypothesis that the lower unit of the AOTu participates in polar- ization vision. Four types of interneurons with ramifications in the lower unit of the AOTu were characterized in multiple recordings...
