Visual Navigation: Ants Lose Track without Mushroom Bodies
Heinze, Stanley LU
(2020)
In Current Biology
30(17).
p.984-986
- Abstract
Ants use memorized visual scenes to navigate towards food sources and to return to their nest. Two new studies show that both of these behaviors fail when structures of the ant brain known as mushroom bodies are chemically disrupted, confirming long-held assumptions about the location of ants’ visual navigation memories.
