Abstract

A striking feature of neural circuit structure is the arrangement of neurons into regularly spaced ensembles (i.e. columns) and neural connections into parallel layers. These patterns of organization are thought to underlie precise synaptic connectivity and provide a basis for the parallel processing of information. In this article we discuss in detail specific findings that contribute to a framework for understanding how columns and layers are assembled in the Drosophila visual system, and discuss their broader implications.

果蝇视觉系统中列和层的组合策略

神经回路结构的一个显著特点是将神经元排列成有规律间隔的集合体（即列），并将神经连接排列成平行层。这些组织模式被认为是精确突触连接的基础，并为并行处理信息提供了依据。在本文中，我们将详细讨论有助于理解果蝇视觉系统中列和层如何组合的框架的具体发现，并讨论其更广泛的意义。

期刊介绍： Neural Development is a peer-reviewed open access, online journal, which features studies that use molecular, cellular, physiological or behavioral methods to provide novel insights into the mechanisms that underlie the formation of the nervous system. Neural Development aims to discover how the nervous system arises and acquires the abilities to sense the world and control adaptive motor output. The field includes analysis of how progenitor cells form a nervous system during embryogenesis, and how the initially formed neural circuits are shaped by experience during early postnatal life. Some studies use well-established, genetically accessible model systems, but valuable insights are also obtained from less traditional models that provide behavioral or evolutionary insights.
