Receptive Fields of Locust Brain Neurons Are Matched to Polarization Patterns of the Sky
Highlights
- •
- Locust brain neurons integrate polarization signals from all parts of the sky
- •
- Neural responses to polarized light reflect the E vector pattern in the sky
- •
- Neurons in the brain act as matched filters to the sky polarization pattern
- •
- Locusts can determine the solar azimuth by relying on polarization vision alone
