About the Cover
Cover: A fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) is tethered to a steel rod and suspended in a flight simulator composed of a cylinder arena of green light-emitting diodes that display a panorama of moving stripes. The arena is equipped with a smooth odor plume. In this issue, Dawnis Chow and Mark Frye (pp. 2478−2485) demonstrate that corrective optomotor steering responses are influenced by olfactory signals during flight. An appetitive food odor enhances the salience of visual motion cues, increases the sensitivity to rotational optic flow and decreases the sensitivity to translational flow. Photo by Scott Chandler.
