Synaptic high-frequency jumping synchronises vision to high-speed behaviour - Nature Communications
How insects maintain precise vision during rapid motion remains unclear. Here, the authors show that motion-driven photoreceptor dynamics and synaptic high-frequency jumping enable hyperacute, minimal...

It started with a simple question: how do visual systems cope with extremely fast movements?

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.

Excited to share our new preprint! Check it out!
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.

Synaptic high-frequency jumping synchronises vision to high-speed behaviour
During high-speed behaviour, animals must predict, detect, process, and respond synchronously to rapid environmental changes, including those caused by their own movements. How neural systems achieve ...
