This research investigates how locusts detect looming threats and respond with escape behaviors. It focuses on the neural circuits involved in these responses, particularly during different developmental stages, using electrophysiological recordings to understand the underlying mechanisms.
Looming detection is crucial for animals to efficiently respond to approaching stimuli.
Extensive research has been done to characterise and understand the neural circuits underlying such capacity.
The locust has been established as a preferred model because it has a pair of large and uniquely identified visual neurons, the lobula giant movement detector (LGMD) and the postsynaptic descending contralateral movement detector (DCMD) that respond selectively to the images of an object approaching t…
