Many animals rely on persistent internal representations of continuous variables for working
memory, navigation, and motor control. Existing theories typically assume that large …

Unlike any other group of animals, all ant species are social: individual ants share the food
they gather with their nestmates and as a consequence they must repeatedly leave their …

Locomotion steering control enables animals to pursue targets, evade threats, avoid
obstacles, and explore their environment. Steering commands are generated in the brain …

Accurate navigation often requires the maintenance of a robust internal estimate of heading
relative to external surroundings. We present a model for angular velocity integration in a …

Sensory information is fundamental for navigation. Visual motion is used by animals to
estimate their traveling distance and direction, and visual landmarks allow animals to tether …

Anchoring goals to spatial representations enables flexible navigation in both animals and
artificial agents. However, using this strategy can be challenging in novel environments …

Vision is a sensory modality particularly important for navigation, as it can inform animals of
their current heading (ie visual landmarks) as well as its changes (ie optic flow). It has been …
