Front Neural Circuits
. 2023 May;
17:1111310.
PMID: 37187914
Flexible orientation through any environment requires a sense of current relative heading that is updated based on self-motion. Global external cues originating from the sky or the earth's magnetic field...

Homberg U, Hensgen R, Jahn S, Pegel U, Takahashi N, Zittrell F, et al.
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2022 Dec;
209(4):641-662.
PMID: 36550368
Many arthropods and vertebrates use celestial signals such as the position of the sun during the day or stars at night as compass cues for spatial orientation. The neural network...

Hensgen R, Zittrell F, Pfeiffer K, Homberg U
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2022 Feb;
208(3):387-403.
PMID: 35157117
The polarization pattern of the sky is exploited by many insects for spatial orientation and navigation. It derives from Rayleigh scattering in the atmosphere and depends directly on the position...

Takahashi N, Zittrell F, Hensgen R, Homberg U
J Exp Biol
. 2022 Jan;
225(4).
PMID: 35048987
Successful navigation depends on an animal's ability to perceive its spatial orientation relative to visual surroundings. Heading direction in insects is represented in the central complex (CX), a navigation center...

. 2021 Aug;
10.
PMID: 34427185
Insect neuroscience generates vast amounts of highly diverse data, of which only a small fraction are findable, accessible and reusable. To promote an open data culture, we have therefore developed...

Zittrell F, Pfeiffer K, Homberg U
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2020 Sep;
117(41):25810-25817.
PMID: 32989147
Many animals use celestial cues for spatial orientation. These include the sun and, in insects, the polarization pattern of the sky, which depends on the position of the sun. The...

J Neurosci
. 2019 Feb;
39(16):3070-3080.
PMID: 30755489
Many migratory insects rely on a celestial compass for spatial orientation. Several features of the daytime sky, all generated by the sun, can be exploited for navigation. Two of these...
