Motion as a source of environmental information: A fresh view on biological motion computation by tiny brains
Despite their miniature brains insects, such as flies, bees and wasps, are able to navigate by highly aerobatic flight maneuvers in cluttered environments. They rely on spatial information that is contained in the retinal motion patterns induced on the eyes while moving around (‘optic flow’) to acco...
