Extended Data Fig. 9: The neural circuit described in this paper implements an egocentric-to-allocentric coordinate transformation.
From: Building an allocentric travelling direction signal via vector computation
a, Schematic of the computation implemented in the Drosophila central complex. Traveling-direction signals referenced to the body axis (i.e., optic flow signals in SpsP and LNO1 cells, which indicate the egocentric traveling angle, green) are converted into traveling-angle signals referenced to cues in the world (i.e., the h∆B bump position, which indicates allocentric traveling angle, red). b, Schematic of a very similar computation hypothesized to take place in monkey parietal cortex.
