Spatiotemporal computations in the insect celestial compass - Nature Communications Insects use the sun for navigation, compensating for its movement throughout the day; a process that remains poorly understood. This study proposes a model of how oscillatory signals of clock neurons ... https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-57937-w
