Ant Navigation: One-Way Routes Rather Than Maps
In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest and debate about whether social insects-central-place foragers such as bees and ants-acquire and use cognitive maps, which enable the animal to steer novel courses between familiar sites . Especially in honey bees, it has been claimed that these insects indeed possess such "general landscape memories" and use them in a "map-like" way . Here...
متن کاملPlace cells on a maze encode routes rather than destinations
Hippocampal place cells fire at different rates when a rodent runs through a given location on its way to different destinations. However, it is unclear whether such firing represents the animal's intended destination or the execution of a specific trajectory. To distinguish between these possibilities, Lister Hooded rats (n = 8) were trained to navigate from a start box to three goal locations...
متن کاملHolistic visual encoding of ant-like routes: Navigation without waypoints
It is known that ants learn long visually guided routes through complex terrain. However, the mechanisms by which visual information is first learned and then used to control a route direction are not well understood. In this article, we propose a parsimonious mechanism for visually guided route following. We investigate whether a simple approach, involving scanning the environment and moving i...
متن کاملThere's More than One Way
We hooked the 5th wheel and boat to the truck for the 240-mile drive to Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir for a walleye tournament. The reservoir is between Twin Falls, Idaho and Jackpot, Nevada. We always look forward to fishing this tournament as it’s a good walleye fishery and we have a lot of friends in the area. We pulled into the federal camp ground at the lake at noon on June 10 and were look...
متن کاملVectors, routes and maps: new discoveries about navigation in insects.
More than a decade ago, social insects were thought by some to possess a cognitive map that allowed them to move along novel pathways between points in the environment. Subsequent experimentation, however , has established that insects navigate using vectors, snapshots and landmark-based routes, and do not use cognitive maps. Two recent papers have reported the investigation of the mechanisms t...
