Using an Insect Mushroom Body Circuit to Encode Route Memory in Complex Natural Environments.
Ants, like many other animals, use visual memory to follow extended routes through complex environments, but it is unknown how their small brains implement this capability. The mushroom body neuropils have been identified as a crucial memory circuit in the insect brain, but their function has mostly...
