The central complex is a group of modular neuropils across the midline of the insect brain.
Hallmarks of its anatomical organization are discrete layers, an organization into arrays of …

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 …

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 …

Many animals navigate using a combination of visual landmarks and path integration. In
mammalian brains, head direction cells integrate these two streams of information by …

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 …

This study aims to propose a novel artificial intelligence model for forecasting the capital cost
(CC) of open-pit mining projects with high accuracy. It is a unique combination of a deep …

Within the last 400 million years, insects have radiated into at least a million species,
accounting for more than half of all known living organisms: they are the most successful …

To navigate, we must continuously estimate the direction we are headed in, and we must
correct deviations from our goal. Direction estimation is accomplished by ring attractor …

Highlights•Animals compare current and desired headings to initiate steering during
navigation.•The insect central complex (CX) encodes head-direction (current heading).•A …

In many animals the ability to navigate over long distances is an important prerequisite for
foraging. For example, it is widely accepted that desert ants and honey bees, but also …
