This project investigates how insect brains achieve precise navigation in diverse environments despite limited sensory information. It focuses on the central complex of the brain, hypothesizing its role in orientation across different insect species.
Animals navigate their surroundings in a large variety of environments, ranging from dim forests at night to bright open fields during the day.
How have their brains evolved to achieve precise visually guided behaviors in such different environments?
Despite their small eyes and tiny brains, insects perform sophisticated orientation behaviors in almost all ecological niches on Earth.
This, and their experimental accessibility, make them ideal models to pursue the aim of the proposed experiments:…
