    Sexual dimorphism in sensorimotor transformation of optic flow

    Sarah Nicholas, Katja Sporar Klinge ... Karin Nordström
    Descending neurons that encode widefield motion vision in the fly have sexually dimorphic velocity tuning, while the wing beat amplitude, which these neurons presumably control, is monomorphic.
