A research team identifies the mushroom body as a center for behavioral decisions in the insect brain. The mushroom body -- the learning and memory region in the brains of arthropods -- is responsible ...

Insects have evolved remarkably efficient strategies for navigation and foraging, employing a combination of innate behaviours and learned experiences to traverse complex environments. Their ...

The rate of development of poikilothermic animals, such as insects, fish, and reptiles, is determined by environmental temperature. A research team has recently demonstrated how temperature can affect ...
