The brain is worthy of study because it is in charge of behavior. A flurry of recent technical
advances in measuring and quantifying naturalistic behaviors provide an important …

Fluid turbulence is a double-edged sword for the navigation of macroscopic animals, such
as birds, insects, and rodents. On the one hand, turbulence enables pheromone …

The sense of smell enables animals to react to long-distance cues according to learned and
innate valences. Here, we have mapped with electron microscopy the complete wiring …

Localizing the sources of stimuli is essential. Most organisms cannot eat, mate, or escape
without knowing where the relevant stimuli originate. For many, if not most, animals, olfaction …

Animal behavior is shaped both by evolution and by individual experience. Parallel brain
pathways encode innate and learned valences of cues, but the way in which they are …

How insects navigate complex odor plumes, where the location and timing of odor packets
are uncertain, remains unclear. Here we imaged complex odor plumes simultaneously with …

Animals exhibit different behavioral responses to the same sensory cue depending on their
internal state at a given moment. How and where in the brain are sensory inputs combined …

State-of-the-art algorithms for visual place recognition, and related visual navigation
systems, can be broadly split into two categories: computer-science-oriented models …

Insects find food and mates by navigating odorant plumes that can be highly intermittent,
with intensities and durations that vary rapidly over orders of magnitude. Much is known …

Sensory navigation results from coordinated transitions between distinct behavioral
programs. During chemotaxis in the Drosophila melanogaster larva, the detection of positive …
