Journal ArticleDOI
Opsin expression, physiological characterization and identification of photoreceptor cells in the dorsal rim area and main retina of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria
Fabian Schmeling,Motohiro Wakakuwa,Jennifer Tegtmeier,Michiyo Kinoshita,Tobias Bockhorst,Kentaro Arikawa,Uwe Homberg +6 more
TL;DR: The data support the role of the DRA in polarization vision and suggest trichromatic colour vision in the desert locust, as well as suggesting a nocturnal lifestyle at low light levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amplitude and dynamics of polarization-plane signaling in the central complex of the locust brain.
Tobias Bockhorst,Uwe Homberg +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the polarotopy is stabilized by antagonistic integration across neurons with opponent tuning, and support a view of the central complex of the desert locust as a substrate of higher-stage processing that could assign contextual meaning to sensory input for motor control in goal-driven behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroarchitecture of the central complex of the desert locust: Tangential neurons.
Joss von Hadeln,Ronja Hensgen,Tobias Bockhorst,Ronny Rosner,Ronny Heidasch,Uta Pegel,Manuel Quintero Pérez,Uwe Homberg +7 more
TL;DR: The central complex (CX) comprises a group of midline neuropils in the insect brain, consisting of the protocerebral bridge (PB), the upper (CBU) and lower division (CBL) of the central body and a pair of globular noduli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of compass sensing and object-motion detection in the locust central complex.
Tobias Bockhorst,Uwe Homberg +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown here that during polarized-light presentation, responses to moving objects override their compass signaling or restore adapted inhibitory as well as excitatory compass responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compass Cells in the Brain of an Insect Are Sensitive to Novel Events in the Visual World.
Tobias Bockhorst,Uwe Homberg +1 more
TL;DR: The data show that neurons of the central complex of the locust brain are visually bimodal, signaling sky compass direction and the novelty character of moving objects, which might serve to attune compass-aided locomotor control to unexpected events in the environment.
