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 …

Honey bee dance has been intensively studied as a communication system, and yet we still
know very little about the neurobiological mechanisms supporting how dances are produced …

Neural representations of head direction (HD) have been discovered in many species.
Theoretical work has proposed that the dynamics associated with these representations are …

For many insects, celestial compass cues play an important role in keeping track of their
directional headings. One well-investigated group of celestial orientating insects are the …

The Drosophila central brain consists of stereotyped neural lineages, developmental-
structural units of macrocircuitry formed by the sibling neurons of single progenitors called …

Many animals orient using visual cues, but how a single cue is selected from among many is
poorly understood. Here we show that Drosophila ring neurons—central brain neurons …

Despite their tiny brains, insects show impressive abilities when navigating over short
distances during path integration or during migration over thousands of kilometers across …

Cataglyphis ants are known for their outstanding navigational abilities. They return to their
inconspicuous nest after far‐reaching foraging trips using path integration, and whenever …

Many insects rely on celestial compass cues such as the polarization pattern of the sky for
spatial orientation. In the desert locust, the central complex (CX) houses multiple sets of …

To avoid the fierce competition for food, South African ball‐rolling dung beetles carve a
piece of dung off a dung‐pile, shape it into a ball and roll it away along a straight line path …
