Abstract
Colour vision involves colour-opponent cells, which are excited and inhibited by different wavelengths. Synaptic interconnections between Drosophila Dm8 cells are required for forming spatio-chromatic receptive fields with a center and surround of opposing polarity which can invert, depending on the stimulus.
