Response properties of optic flow neurons in the accessory optic system of hummingbirds versus zebra finches and pigeons

Andrea H. Gaede et al.

Summary: By studying the visual response properties of hummingbirds, this study found that hummingbird nBOR neurons are more sensitive to stimulus velocity and more precise in the spatiotemporal domain. These results, in combination with specialization in LM, support the hypothesis that hummingbirds have evolved to be optic flow specialists to cope with the optomotor demands of sustained hovering flight.
