This behavior was validated in the visual system using calcium imaging in the fly [1]. However, this model correspondence has only been completed at a high-level (input-output), rather than at an anatomical or physiological level.[2]

History

Direction Selective units were first explored in cats by Hubel and Wiesel in 1959. Levick and Barlow performed many of the seminal early experiments related to direction selectivity during the 1960s using rabbit retina [3]. In these experiments, they measured action potentials generated from a black-white grating with a small slit [4].

Many additional experiments have been performed during the past fifty years in organisms as diverse as the turtle (e.g., Marchiafava 1979) and the mouse (Briggman 2011).
