In the desert locust, the central complex (CX) houses multiple sets of neurons, sensitive to the oscillation plane of polarized light...

Synchronised video and high-frequency recordings were made of two harbour porpoises trained to swim from one position to another across an outdoor pool in order to correlate swimming and echolocation behaviour. Both porpoises showed a clear range-locking...

It is concluded that either the head or the trunk can provide the nervous system with a reference frame for spatial orientation and that the segment providing that reference can change, depending upon the kinematic characteristics of the chosen gait.

... translation of the RS(R) versus roll angle curve ( Fig. 10F ). In these animals, one sub-population of RS neurones, RS(R), receives excitation from the labyrinth, and the activity of these neurones depends on the spatial orientation of the animal (i.e. on the roll tilt). The antagonistic sub-population, RS...
