Many animals rely on an internal heading representation when navigating in varied
environments,,,,,,,,–. How this representation is linked to the sensory cues that define …

In the fly optic lobe,∼ 800 highly stereotypical columnar microcircuits are arranged
retinotopically to process visual information. Differences in cellular composition and synaptic …

Monarch butterflies rely on external cues for orientation during their annual long-distance
migration from Northern US and Canada to Central Mexico. These external cues can be …

Many animals rely on a representation of head direction for flexible, goal-directed
navigation. In insects, a compass-like head direction representation is maintained in a …

Wood ants are excellent navigators, using a combination of innate and learnt navigational
strategies to travel between their nest and feeding sites. Visual navigation in ants has been …

Visual memory is crucial to navigation in many animals, including insects. Here, we focus on
the problem of visual homing, that is, using comparison of the view at a current location with …

Insect visual navigation is often assumed to depend on panoramic views of the horizon, and
how these change as the animal moves. However, it is known that honey bees can visually …

The central complex of insects contains cells, organised as a ring attractor, that encode head
direction. The 'bump'of activity in the ring can be updated by idiothetic cues and external …

Ants are expert navigators combining innate and learnt navigational strategies. Whereas we
know that the ants' feeding state segregates visual–navigational memories in ants …

When cockroaches are trained to a visual–olfactory cue pairing using the antennal
projection response (APR), they can form different memories for the location of a visual cue …
