Visual Processing in Insects: From Anatomy to Behavior
April 29 - May 2, 2007

There is a wealth of information on the functional anatomy of insect visual systems which can provide deep insights into visual behavior. This meeting brought people with this expertise into contact with molecular geneticists who think about the anatomy of the brain circuits underlying vision, more specifically how the visual system works for motion detection, color vision or polarized light detection.
