The molecular genetic dissection of Drosophila colour vision circuitry reveals converging pathways previously categorized as being chromatic versus achromatic. Amacrine-like Dm8 cells receive direct and indirect inputs with different spectral sensitivity tuning, thereby forming the second stage of colour-opponent processing.
