Nerve Cell (IMAGE)
Caption
Job sharing in the flight control center: Each VS nerve cell receives visual information in its input region (broad cell end) from only a narrow strip of the fly's eye (the cell's receptive field). In the output region at the rear end of the cell, electrical connections (red) enable the cells to communicate with neighboring cells.
