	 Due to the limited computational capacity of visual systems and the
	limited capacity to perform several mental operations at once, animals
	only select a small proportion of the stimuli available at any one
	time. It remains to be clarified how this process is related to the
	spatio-temporal dynamics of cell assemblies in the brain. By employing
	the flight simulator, selective visual attention behavior is studied
	in Drosophila. It has been found that for the visual objects presented,
	the tethered fruitflies display various attention patterns. Specifically,
	the learning memory mutants dunce and amnesiac possess attention
	patterns totally different from that of the wild-type fly. To explain
	these results from the viewpoint of dynamic cell assemblies, a neural
	network has been developed in which a possible link between the activity
	of cell assemblies, encoding of sensory information, and selective
	attention in Drosophila is proposed.}
