Abstract
In the cervical connective of the blowfly Calliphora erythrocephala neurons were recorded which respond best to an image expanding in front of the fly. Neurons of this category can be classified with respect to their temporal and spatial response characteristics. Some of them are activated exclusively by bilateral image expansion. This group responds almost immediately after stimulus onset. Some of the neurons are activated also by the unilateral constituents of the expanding stimulus. Their response rises comparatively slowly after stimulus onset. The latter group is likely to be involved in the visually induced landing behavior of flies.
