This research reveals neural mechanisms that track space in insects, indicating their complex spatial cognition.
Insects navigate by integrating a geocentric velocity vector, allowing them to track their position relative to a distant nest. Recent advances reveal in detail the key neural mechanisms supporting this behavior, offering new insight into how complex spatial cognition is implemented in brain circuits.
