A cell type in the visual system that receives feedback about limb movement
Hartman et al. describe a cell type in the Drosophila visual system that is activated during head grooming through visual and non-visual signals arising from foreleg movements. These neurons inhibit a central brain region involved in visual-motor control and are poised to prevent the fly from steering toward self-generated stimuli.
