The ability of animals to flexibly navigate through complex environments depends on the
integration of sensory information with motor commands. The sensory modality most tightly …

Oriented behaviour is present in almost all animals, indicating that it is an ancient feature
that has emerged from animal brains hundreds of millions of years ago. Although many …

Flexible behaviors over long timescales are thought to engage recurrent neural networks in
deep brain regions, which are experimentally challenging to study. In insects, recurrent …

Path integration is a widespread navigational strategy in which directional changes and
distance covered are continuously integrated on an outward journey, enabling a straight-line …

Many animals maintain an internal representation of their heading as they move through
their surroundings. Such a compass representation was recently discovered in a neural …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

To navigate towards a food source, animals frequently combine odor cues about source
identity with wind direction cues about source location. Where and how these two cues are …

Continuously monitoring its position in space relative to a goal is one of the most essential
tasks for an animal that moves through its environment. Species as diverse as rats, bees …

Sleep-promoting neurons in the dorsal fan-shaped body (dFB) of Drosophila are integral to
sleep homeostasis, but how these cells impose sleep on the organism is unknown. We …

Many animals can navigate toward a goal they cannot see based on an internal
representation of that goal in the brain's spatial maps. These maps are organized around …
