Function and coding in the blowfly H1 neuron during naturalistic optic flow.
Article in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Naturalistic stimuli, reconstructed from measured eye movements of flying blowflies, were replayed on a panoramic stimulus device. The directional movement-sensitive H1 neuron was recorded from blowflies watching these stimuli. The response of the H1 neuron is dominated by the response to fast saccadic turns into one direction. The response between saccades is mostly inhibited by the front-to-back optic flow caused by the forward translation during flight. To unravel the functional significance of the H1 neuron, we replayed, in addition to the original behaviorally generated stimulus, two targeted stimulus modifications: (1) a stimulus in which flow resulting from translation was removed (this stimulus produced strong intersaccadic responses); and (2) a stimulus in which the saccades were removed by assuming that the head follows the smooth flight trajectory (this stimulus produced alternating zero or nearly saturating spike rates). The responses to the two modified stimuli are strongly different from the response to the original stimulus, showing the importance of translation and saccades for the H1 response to natural optic flow. The response to the original stimulus thus suggests a double function for the H1 neuron, assisting two major classes of movement-sensitive output neurons targeted by H1. First, its strong response to saccades may function as a saccadic suppressor (via one of its target neurons) for cells involved in figure-ground discrimination. Second, its intersaccadic response may increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of wide-field neurons involved in detecting translational optic flow between saccades, in particular when flying speeds are low or when object distances are large.
