A new study in fruit flies reveals how the brain’s internal compass and steering regions work together. These brain regions are connected by neurons that help flies make course corrections in real ...

We humans are pretty good at navigating—we can find our way home, remember walks in our favorite cities and parks or navigate through confusing office blocks. But what happens in our brains when we ...

For decades, researchers had a theory about how an animal's brain keeps track of where it is relative to its surroundings without outside cues – like how we know where we are, even with our eyes ...

Researchers documented the activity of neurons that shape directional navigation as bats explored a remote island off the ...

New research explains how the fly brain creates an accurate internal compass to keep track of where it is in the world using only a few neurons, expanding scientists' knowledge of what small networks ...

A study in fruit flies reveals how the brain's compass and steering regions make course corrections. Our sense of direction is essential to our ability to navigate the world around us. It acts as the ...
