An electron-microscopy image of the fruit fly's anterior visual pathway — all neurons involved in processing visual information and conveying it to the navigation center in the fly brain. Compass neurons are in the circular area at the center

Researchers' reconstruction of fruit fly’s anterior visual pathway will lead to insights into animal navigation
