Formalism for the neural network of visual systems

A formalism to describe neural interrelations is developed on the exemplary case of the fly visual system. Absolute and relative indices are employed to identify the position of neural elements within the lattices of the visual ganglia. Illustrative applications as the projection of fly retinual cell axons into the lamina are discussed as well as the general feasibility of the formalism to other visual systems.
