Spatial facilitation by a high-performance dragonfly target-detecting neuron

Many animals visualize and track small moving targets at long distances—be they prey, approaching predators or conspecifics. Insects are an excellent model system for investigating the neural mechanisms that have evolved for this challenging task. Specialized small target motion detector (STMD) neur...
