Jeff Taube joined Jim ~2 yrs later and, together with Bob Muller, the trio quantitatively characterized HD cells’ tuning curves for the first time (using a 2-spot video tracker!). In 1990, they published their classic papers in the journal of neuroscience.. (2/3)

Happy head direction cell day y’all!
On this day, 41 years ago, Jim Ranck recorded the first “HD cell” in his Brooklyn lab in 1984.
Jim shared the news with the world at SFN that year, showing a video of the cell’s firing on a TV he somehow acquired and brought to his poster… (1/3)

Individual variability is super interesting! At the same time, I agree with your point above... the fly brain is stereotyped enough that we can generate driver lines targeting specific cell types and in most cases map those to a connectomic cell type. Video for fun (magenta = EM; green = light) :)
