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 …

Navigational mechanisms have been characterized as servomechanisms. A navigational
servomechanism specifies a goal state to strive for. Discrepancies between the perceived …

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 …

Insect navigation arises from the coordinated action of concurrent guidance systems but the
neural mechanisms through which each functions, and are then coordinated, remains …

Sustainable research on computational models of neuronal networks requires published
models to be understandable, reproducible, and extendable. Missing details or ambiguities …

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

Solitary foraging insects display stunning navigational behaviours in visually complex
natural environments. Current literature assumes that these insects are mostly driven by …

Highlights•Drosophila larva enables combining comprehensive synapse resolution
connectivity maps with cellular-resolution activity maps and behavior maps.•This approach …

Many insects display lateral oscillations while moving, but how these oscillations are
produced and participate in visual navigation remains unclear. Here, we show that visually …

The study of navigation is informed by ethological data from many species, laboratory
investigation at behavioural and neurobiological levels, and computational modelling …
