... on the retina. Halteres Gaze control Vision Multimodal integration Flight Drosophila Summary: Halteres, specialized fly mechanosensory organs for detecting body rotations, influence visually guided head movements even when flies are flying straight. Removing halteres decreases head...

..., but not in comparison to acoustic stimuli alone. Thus, even in a relatively unspecialized species such as the chicken, the benefits of multimodal integration are exploited for sensory processing. Our results show that chickens can combine the visual and the acoustic information present in audiovisual stimuli...

... property of the GDN is suggested by comparisons with the GAMDN, in which action potentials are readily elicited by mechanical and visual stimuli. The results are discussed in the context of descending pathways involved in multimodal integration and escape responses. * Author for correspondence ( mul...
