Insect spatial memory is thought to be based on panoramic snapshots that are modelled as retinotopic images. This idea won't allow a distinction of landmarks from the scene. Unexpectedly, our data suggest that 🐝 learn 3D-objects as individual landmarks. #neuroethology

I am so excited to share the incredible news that I have received funding from the DFG to start my Emmy-Noether group in Würzburg next year to study the neural mechanisms of the bee's waggle dance including their spatial memory. #Neuroethology
