Recent paper prompts us to reconsider how neural systems overcome time delays during natural behaviour, suggesting that active movement can enable faster and more efficient visual coding. Enjoy readig it. #vision #neuroscience #active_vision #AI

New paper out today! Insect eyes do not just record images - they actively sample the world in rapid bursts. We show that this drives synaptic high-frequency jumping, reshaping visual signals to boost speed, timing and hyperacute vision during flight. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

How do flies keep crystal-clear vision while zipping through the air? 🪰 This study reveals synaptic high-frequency jumping, a mechanism where photoreceptor synapses recode vision into high-frequency signals, enabling synchronised, coherent perception even at lightning speed. #vision #neuroscience

Flies keep their vision razor-sharp even at top speed: we found their synapses “jump” into higher frequencies during saccades, wiping out delays and boosting acuity. This self-sharpening trick shows how brains sync perception with rapid behaviour. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

How is the nervous system organized to coordinate behavior? To approach this massive question, a team led by @asbates.bsky.social, @jasper-tms.bsky.social, @mindyisminsu.bsky.social, & Helen Yang present the BANC: a Brain and Nerve Cord connectome. Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🧪#Neuroskyence

Public access to the first fly connectome that spans the whole CNS - BANC!: codex.flywire.ai?dataset=banc Different from prior connectomes - it is brain + cord (think spinal cord) We use it to ‘embody’ the system and find it resembles ‘subsumption architecture’ doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Fascinating findings! It seems cognitive processes can unfold much faster than we typically expect. Importantly, the commonly assumed speed-accuracy tradeoff may not hold in rapid decision-making contexts; consistent with findings we've seen in bees: lnkd.in/e_cdCdcH doi.org/10.7554/eLif....

Learning and cognition in highspeed decision making

Studying a decision in archerfish reveals an impressive potential of learning capacities and cognitive aspects that are unexpected for decisions made at reflex speed.
