A computational model for angular velocity integration in a locust heading circuit

The paper develops a computational model of angular velocity integration in a locust heading circuit, showing it is robust to noise and can steer a simulated locust back on course.

Integration of optic flow into the sky compass network in the brain of the desert locust

The paper identifies central-complex neurons in locusts that integrate optic flow for directional navigation, modeling their connectivity to explain turn-direction-specific activity shifts.

InsectBrainDatabase - A unified platform to manage, share, and archive morphological and functional data

The paper introduces InsectBrainDatabase (IBdb), a platform for managing and sharing insect neuroanatomical and functional data, enabling cross-species comparisons and data reuse.
