🧭🧠 How insects do trigonometry to find their way
A new study shows how insect brains might calculate the sun’s position using internal clocks and trigonometric circuits.
Could this unlock solar-based navigation for future robots?

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 ...
