N1 - Funding Information:
ian Meinertzhagen wishes to thank John DoMing, whose extraordinary generosity of spirit is remembered with much gratitude. Most of the approach to synaptic organization presented in this chapter initially germinated while he was a postdoc in the DoMing lab and has been subsequently nurtured by support from the National Eye Institute (through its grant EY03592) and the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Ottawa (through its grant A000065). Research on insect visual systems has been implemented and supplemented by numerous colleagues and trainees, to all of whom we are deeply indebted. Karin Sorra undertook quantitative work reported in Table 2 and Figs. 3-6, and also acknowledges John Dowling as a mentor while in graduate school. We also thank Ms. Xiangqun Hu for permission to reproduce the reconstructions in Fig. 2, Drs. Simon Laughlin for helpful discussions on tetrad synapses, Dr. Alois Hofbauer for confirmation of optic lobe cell counts, and Ms Jane Anne Horne for help in preparing the figures.
