Processing of sky compass cues and wide-field motion in the central complex of the desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria)

Processing of sky compass cues and wide-field motion in the central complex of the desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria)

1. Polarization-sensitive neurons of the locust central complex show azimuthdependent responses to unpolarized light spots. This suggests that direct sunlight supports the sky polarization compass in this brain area. / 2. In the brain of the desert locust, neurons sensitive to the plane of celestial...
