Horizontal-cell like Dm9 neurons in Drosophila modulate photoreceptor output to supply multiple functions in early visual processing
Published in Frontiers in molecular neuroscience (15-05-2024)“…Dm9 neurons in have been proposed as functional homologs of horizontal cells in the outer retina of vertebrates. Here we combine genetic dissection of neuronal…”
