Taxis orientation is common in microorganisms, and it provides feasible strategies to
operate active colloids as small‐scale robots. Collective taxes involve numerous units that …

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 …

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has emerged as a key model organism in
neuroscience, in large part due to the concentration of collaboratively generated molecular …

Many behavioural tasks require the manipulation of mathematical vectors, but, outside of
computational models,,,,,–, it is not known how brains perform vector operations. Here we …

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 …

In neural networks that store information in their connection weights, there is a tradeoff
between sensitivity and stability,. Connections must be plastic to incorporate new …

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

Many animals use visual information to navigate,,–, but how such information is encoded
and integrated by the navigation system remains incompletely understood. In Drosophila …

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 …

Neuronal signals that are relevant for spatial navigation have been described in many
species,,,,,,,,–. However, a circuit-level understanding of how such signals interact to guide …
