Neural performance can be monitored using the visual looming detector circuit, via the descending contralateral movement detector (DCMD).

Abstract

<p>(A). The timing and electrophysiological properties of APs elicited by a 1 m/s looming stimulus can be recorded from the axon of DCMD. (B). Conduction delay of APs recorded between two extracellular suction electrodes can be used to calculate relative conduction velocity. (C). Quantification of differences in conduction velocity with increasing instantaneous frequency. (D). Activity-dependent hyperpolarization of DCMD (arrow) can be monitored in response to visual stimuli. (E). Electrical stimulation of the axon to evoke 1000 APs (grey arrow) is also sufficient to induce an activity-dependent hyperpolarization (black arrow).</p
