The talk will take place on Thursday, 22/09 at 12:15 in WAB 236. Central circuits supporting visual self-motion estimation in Drosophila Sensory experience critically depends on our own movement: the brain must incorporate information about self-motion to guide behavior, or discount self-generated sensory signals to improve the salience of relevant signals. How do sensorimotor circuits process self-generated signals in different ways to meet specific demands? Neurons that are sensitive to patterns of retinal visual flow generated by self-motion have been found in many animals, from humans to insects. We took advantage of the genetic and connectomic toolkit of Drosophila to functionally characterize the circuitry of a prominent class of visual flow-sensitive neurons – LPTCs – in the brain. We found that LPTC circuits are organized into two major subnetworks that contact distinct populations of central and descending neurons. Functional imaging from key interneurons revealed their sensitivity to visual flow generated by forward or turning movements. In addition, these neurons display congruent tuning to forward walking and turning in darkness, signifying their relevance as a hub for integration of visual and nonvisual self-motion signals. The combination of the circuit architecture and functional responses suggests that these subnetworks may be used to monitor angular deviations and elicit turns to maintain a straight course, or to modulate the sensitivity to visual flow induced by voluntary turns, respectively. Altogether, our results show two central subnetworks downstream of LPTCs that process patterns of translational and rotational optic flow, which in combination with non-visual signals modulate the activity of visuomotor circuits according to the ongoing task of an animal moving through space.
