Many animals use gravity as a spatial reference to help navigate their surroundings, but how they do so is not well understood. A new study reveals that a representative of our closest invertebrate relatives, the tunicate Ciona, processes light and gravity cues through a simple neural circuit to decide when and how to swim.
