How does navigation work? It starts with a two-step 'map-and-compass' process: an animal establishes its map position relative to its goal then heads in the required compass direction. Rodents and bats navigate using 'place cells' and 'grid cells' in the brain, so non-mammals may also draw mental maps of a route.
