Insect Neurobiology: How a Small Spot Stops a Fly.

Abstract
Animals often respond to small moving features very differently than they do to large moving fields. A new study finds that viewing small spots causes walking fruit flies to stop in their tracks, and identifies the cellular pathway that processes this signal.
