...Annette Stowasser; Aaron Stahl; Joshua B. Benoit; Daniel A. Wagenaar ABSTRACT Among animals with visual processing mechanisms, the leech Hirudo verbana is a rare example in which all neurons can be identified. However, little is known about its visual system, which is composed of several pigmented...

..., but that the response to GABA differs between butterflies and flies, implying variation in early visual processing among species.

.... This suggests an important difference between primate and insect visual processing, so that while primates can capture entire visual scenes ‘at a glance’, insects might have to rely on continuous online sampling of the world around them, using a process of active vision, which requires longer integration times...

... in performance, indicating a possible disruption to configural type visual processing. This study shows that it is possible for honeybees to both learn to discriminate between similar human faces and to subsequently recognise a target face when it is presented in conjunction with novel distractor faces...
