Electrophysiological recordings from the sub-oesophageal ganglion and cervical connective of Musca domestica have revealed the existence of units which integrate visual stimuli that elicit landing behaviour (light-off stimulusor expansion of a spatial pattern) and those which cause inhibition of a landing behaviour already in progress (light-on stimulus or contracting pattern).
