The Connectome and the Quest for the Functional Logic of the Drosophila Early Olfactory System
Aurel A. Lazar, Yiyin Zhou
In recent decades, the early olfactory system (EOS) of the fruit fly has become a leading model for studying olfactory processing and associative memory, owing in part to a well-ch…

Sparse Identification of Contrast Gain Control in the Fruit Fly Photoreceptor and Amacrine Cell Layer
Aurel A. Lazar, Nikul H. Ukani, Yiyin Zhou
The fruit fly's natural visual environment is often characterized by light intensities ranging across several orders of magnitude and by rapidly varying contrast across space and t…

Sparse Functional Identification of Complex Cells from Spike Times and the Decoding of Visual Stimuli
Aurel A. Lazar, Nikul H. Ukani, Yiyin Zhou
We investigate the sparse functional identification of complex cells and the decoding of visual stimuli encoded by an ensemble of complex cells. The reconstruction algorithm of bot…
