Next, Jeffrey Donlea explores how insect studies have helped reveal the key neural mechanisms through which sleep influences long-term memory, providing insights into sleep’s fundamental functions within simple, well-characterized memory circuits. www.cell.com/trends/cogni...
Sleep and memory consolidation in insects
Several cognitive functions of sleep, including a role in supporting memory consolidation,
are conserved across the evolution of animal species. As outlined here, studies of
insect behavior and neural...

First, Barbara Webb highlights recent breakthroughs in uncovering the neural mechanisms that enable insects to navigate by integrating a geocentric velocity vector, providing new insights into how complex spatial cognition is implemented within brain circuits. www.cell.com/trends/cogni...
How the insect brain keeps track of space
Insects navigate by integrating a geocentric velocity vector, allowing them to track
their position relative to a distant nest. Recent advances reveal in detail the key
neural mechanisms supporting th...
