Optic lobe (arthropods)

The optic(al) lobe of arthropods is a structure of the protocerebrum that sits behind the arthropod eye (mostly compound eyes) and is responsible for the processing of the visual information. It is made up of three layers:

  • Lamina (ganglionaris): responsible for contrast enhancement through lateral inhibition
  • Medulla: processes movement and shows movement direction sensitivity. Possesses local motion detectors
  • Lobula: integrates information from large areas of the visual field to abstract visual information and object recognition

It seems to be some kind of optic lobe hack that accesses a collaborative database of eigenfaces, with some sort of side interface to Broca's region.
