Figure 10. Responses of disconnected and connected VS cells to downward motion.

Figure 10

We measured the response strength of all VS cells to a pattern moving homogeneously downward in all parts of the visual field. When disconnected (solid line), all VS cells respond identically. However, when fully connected (dashed line), the response to downward motion is suppressed. The effect is smallest for VS4-6 which are mainly only sensitive to downward motion. In contrast, VS1-2 and VS8-10 exhibit a more rotational receptive field structure and therefore respond weaker to downward motion.
