How Inhibitory Neural Circuits Shape Looming Detection in Insects

Four inhibitory mechanisms—global, self, lateral, and feed‑forward—combine in a simulated LGMD circuit to sharpen looming detection across visual conditions. Read more: getnews.me/how-inhibitory-neural-ci... #looming #insectvision #neuromorphic

Spectral preferences of mosquitos are altered by odors Highlighted Article: With CO2 alone, mosquitos show little attraction to green stimuli (475–575 nm); however, the odors of flowers, vertebrate hosts or oviposition sites can shift these preferences, m...

Most bugs can’t see red—but these beetles can Most insects have evolved to see the blue, green, and even ultraviolet spectrums. But most insects have trouble parsing one hue in particular: red. Even bees and other pollinators that visit traditionally...
