Eye Witness

She went with what she could see.

• Motion sensor (Lobula plate, right) +4%: Senses which way the world slides past, to keep her flight straight. Led by T4d cells.
• Antler (Antler, left) +8%: A small antler-shaped hub next to the compass. Its job is only partly understood. Led by LHPV6f1 cells.
• Neck control (Neck tectulum, left) +3%: Turns and steadies the head. Led by IN02A067 cells.
