Arthropods Optic Lobe
The optic(al) lobe of arthropods is a structure of the protocerebrum that sits behind the arthropod eye (mostly compound eyes) and is responsible for the processing of the visual information.
It is made up of three layers:
- Lamina (ganglionaris)
- responsible for contrast enhancement through lateral inhibition
- Medulla
- processes movement and shows movement direction sensitivity. Possesses local motion detectors
- Lobula
- integrates information from large areas of the visual field to abstract visual information and object recognition
- Lobula plate
- wide-field motion vision
