Visual motion-sensitive neurons in the bumblebee brain convey information about landmarks during a navigational task

Bees use visual memories to find the spatial location of previously learnt food sites.Characteristic learning flights help acquiring these memories at newly discovered foraging locations where landmarks - salient objects in the vicinity of the goal location - can play an important role in guiding the animal’s homing behavior.Although behavioral e
