Robust coding of ego-motion in descending neurons of the fly.

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
In many species, motion-sensitive neurons responding to optic flow at higher processing stages are well characterized; however, less is known how this representation of ego-motion is further transformed into an appropriate motor response. Here, we analyzed in the blowfly Calliphora vicina the visuomotor transformation from motion-sensitive neurons in the lobula plate [V2 and vertical system (VS) cells] onto premotor descending neurons [descending neurons of the ocellar and vertical system (DNOVS) cells] feeding into the motor circuit of the fly thoracic ganglion. We found that each of these cells is tuned to rotation of the fly around a particular body axis. Comparing the responses of presynaptic and postsynaptic cells revealed that DNOVS cells have approximately the same tuning widths as V2 and VS cells. However, DNOVS signals cells are less corrupted by fluctuations arising from the spatial structure of the visual input than their presynaptic elements. This leads to a more robust representation of ego-motion at the level of descending neurons. Thus, when moving from lobula plate cells to descending neurons, the selectivity for a particular optic flow remains unaltered, but the robustness of the representation increases.
