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.

在果蝇视觉系统中组装柱和层的策略。


神经回路结构的一个显着特征是将神经元排列成规则间隔的集合（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，并为信息的并行处理提供了基础。在本文中，我们详细讨论了有助于理解果蝇视觉系统中柱和层如何组装的框架的具体发现，并讨论了它们更广泛的含义。
