Progress in physics-based simulators and robotics makes it easier to use neuromechanical modeling to test hypotheses about animal movement.

When flies encounter a tasty smell, they stroll in and out of the odor plume to keep track of it, encoding a memory of the angle they need to travel.

Ovenbirds, electric fish, tree frogs and other regional fauna help neuroscientists ask novel research questions in the field.
