title: Visual Neuroscience: Unique Neural System for Flight Stabilization in Hummingbirds.
abstract: The pretectal visual motion processing area in the hummingbird brain is unlike that in other birds: instead of emphasizing detection of horizontal movements, it codes for motion in all directions through 360°, possibly offering precise visual stability control during hovering.
