Panoramic views offer information on heading direction and on location to visually
navigating animals. This review covers the properties of panoramic views and the …

Insects can navigate efficiently in both novel and familiar environments, and this requires
flexiblity in how they are guided by sensory cues. A prominent landmark, for example, can …

Sensory perception modulates aging, yet we know little about how. An understanding of the
neuronal mechanisms through which animals orchestrate biological responses to relevant …

Many species of animals use vision to regulate their social behaviors. However, the
molecular and circuit mechanisms underlying visually guided social interactions remain …

The insect central complex (CX) is an enigmatic structure whose computational function has
evaded inquiry, but has been implicated in a wide range of behaviours. Recent experimental …

The visual systems of all animals are used to provide information that can guide behaviour.
In some cases insects demonstrate particularly impressive visually-guided behaviour and …

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 …

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 …

Panoramic views of natural environments provide visually navigating animals with two kinds
of information: they define locations because image differences increase smoothly with …
