Insect intraspecific olfactory communication occurs in a complex sensory environment. Here
we present recent results on how the olfactory system extracts specific information from a …

Highlights•Wind, location, size, and number of odor sources shape temporal odor
patterns.•Insects can detect fine-scale temporal odor patterns and integrate them over …

Connectomes generated from electron microscopy images of neural tissue unveil the
complex morphology of every neuron and the locations of every synapse interconnecting …

Foraging is a vital behavioral task for living organisms. Behavioral strategies and abstract
mathematical models thereof have been described in detail for various species. To explore …

To survive, insects must effectively navigate odor plumes to their source. In natural plumes,
turbulent winds break up smooth odor regions into disconnected patches, so navigators …

Odors are transported by turbulent air currents, creating complex temporal fluctuations in
odor concentration that provide a potentially informative stimulus dimension. We have …

Much of human cognition involves two different types of reasoning that operate together.
Type 1 reasoning systems are intuitive and fast, whereas Type 2 reasoning systems are …
