Abstract

Abstract

The olfactory and visual neural systems in Drosophila are highly sensitive to the olfactory and visual stimuli in the natural environment. The highly sensitive single-modal perception and cross-modal collaboration decision-making mechanisms of the olfactory and visual neural systems provide certain inspiration for bionic applications. Firstly, based on the olfactory and visual neural systems in Drosophila, the current research status of the physiological mechanisms and computational models of single-modal perception decision-making of the olfactory and visual neurons is summarized. The summary is divided into three parts: capturing, processing, and decision-making of the olfactory and visual signals. Meanwhile, the physiological mechanisms and computational models of cross-modal collaboration decision-making of the olfactory and visual neurons in Drosophila are further expounded. Then, the typical bionic applications of single-modal perception and cross-modal collaboration in Drosophila are summarized. Finally, the current challenges of the physiological mechanisms and computational models of the olfactory and visual neural pathways in Drosophila are summarized and the future development trends are outlook for, which lays a foundation for future research work.
