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 …

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 …

Animals rely on the relative timing of events in their environment to form and update
predictive associations, but the molecular and circuit mechanisms for this temporal …

Spatial maps in the brain are most accurate when they are linked to external sensory cues.
Here, we show that the compass in the Drosophila brain is linked to the direction of the wind …

To navigate towards a food source, animals frequently combine odor cues about source
identity with wind direction cues about source location. Where and how these two cues are …

Odour plumes in the wild are spatially complex and rapidly fluctuating structures carried by
turbulent airflows,,–. To successfully navigate plumes in search of food and mates, insects …

Insects can perform impressive feats of navigation, suggesting a sophisticated sense of
direction and an ability to choose appropriate trajectories toward ethological goals. The …

Among the many wonders of nature, the sense of smell of the fly Drosophila melanogaster
might seem, at first glance, of esoteric interest. Nevertheless, for over a century, the 'nose'of …

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 …

The insect central complex (CX) is thought to underlie goal-oriented navigation but its
functional organization is not fully understood. We recorded from genetically-identified CX …
