Abstract / Bemerkung
Nervous systems encode information about dynamically changing sensory input by changes in neuronal activity. Neuronal activity changes, however, also arise from noise sources within and outside the nervous system or from changes of the animal's behavioral state. The resulting variability of neuronal responses in representing sensory stimuli limits the reliability with which animals can respond to stimuli and may thus even affect the chances for survival in certain situations. Relevant sources of noise arising at different stages along the motion vision pathway have been investigated from the sensory input to the initiation of behavioral reactions. Here, we concentrate on the reliability of processing visual motion information in flies. Flies rely on visual motion information to guide their locomotion. They are among the best established model systems for the processing of visual motion information allowing us to bridge the gap between behavioral performance and underlying neuronal computations. It has been possible to directly assess the consequences of noise at major stages of the fly's visual motion processing system on the reliability of neuronal signals. Responses of motion sensitive neurons and their variability have been related to optomotor movements as indicators for the overall performance of visual motion computation. We address whether and how noise already inherent in the stimulus, e.g. photon noise for the visual system, influences later processing stages and to what extent variability at the output level of the sensory system limits behavioral performance. Recent advances in circuit analysis and the progress in monitoring neuronal activity in behaving animals should now be applied to understand how the animal meets the requirements of fast and reliable manoeuvres in naturalistic situations.
