Flexible behaviors over long timescales are thought to engage recurrent neural networks in
deep brain regions, which are experimentally challenging to study. In insects, recurrent …

Despite their small size, insect brains are able to produce robust and efficient navigation in
complex environments. Specifically in social insects, such as ants and bees, these …

Path integration is a navigation strategy widely observed in nature where an animal
maintains a running estimate, called the home vector, of its location during an excursion …

Animals successfully forage within new environments by learning, simulating and adapting
to their surroundings. The functions behind such goal-oriented behavior can be …

From a stimulus-response (SR) point of view, or even with an intermediate step, involving
cognition (SOR), the existence of behavioral variablity in organisms, even under tightly …

Perceptual constancy has played a significant role in philosophy of perception. It figures in
debates about direct realism, color ontology, and the minimal conditions for perceptual …

Rodents are optimal real-world foragers that regulate internal states maintaining a dynamic
stability with their surroundings. How these internal drive based behaviors are regulated …

Intelligence depends on the ability of the brain to acquire and apply rules and
representations. At the neuronal level these properties have been shown to critically depend …

The brain is the most complex system we know of. Despite the wealth of data available in
neuroscience, our understanding of this system is still very limited. Here we argue that an …

We develop a mathematical approach to formally proving that certain neural computations
and representations exist based on patterns observed in an organism's behaviour. To …
