Many animals rely on an internal heading representation when navigating in varied environments
1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 – 10 . How this representation is linked to the sensory cues …

10.7554/eLife.32055.001 Behavior relies on the ability of sensory systems to infer properties
of the environment from incoming stimuli. The accuracy of inference depends on the fidelity …

Flexible behaviors over long timescales are thought to engage recurrent neural networks in
deep brain regions, which are experimentally challenging to study. In insects, recurrent …

Magnetic resonance imaging enables the noninvasive mapping of both anatomical white
matter connectivity and dynamic patterns of neural activity in the human brain. We examine the …

Many animals orient using visual cues, but how a single cue is selected from among many
is poorly understood. Here we show that Drosophila ring neurons—central brain neurons …

The anatomical connectivity of the human brain supports diverse patterns of correlated neural
activity that are thought to underlie cognitive function. In a manner sensitive to underlying …

Hunger and thirst have distinct goals but control similar ingestive behaviors, and little is
known about neural processes that are shared between these behavioral states. We identify …

10.7554/eLife.03722.001 Information processing in the sensory periphery is shaped by
natural stimulus statistics. In the periphery, a transmission bottleneck constrains performance; …

The performance of information processing systems, from artificial neural networks to natural
neuronal ensembles, depends heavily on the underlying system architecture. In this study, …

The ability to adapt to changes in stimulus statistics is a hallmark of sensory systems. Here,
we developed a theoretical framework that can account for the dynamics of adaptation from …
