Insect vision: Head saccades to reset the view

Curr Biol. 2021 Sep 27;31(18):R1072-R1074. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2021.07.056.

Abstract

Tracking a moving scene requires you to occasionally readjust your gaze as objects slip out of sight. A new study has found how fruit flies use head-turning strategies to reset their gaze and stabilize visual images during flight.
