Lateralised memory networks may explain the use of higher-order visual features in navigating insects. by Giulio Filippi, James Knight, Andrew Philippides, Paul Graham

“…One such experimental study showed that ants can use the proportion of a shape experienced left of their visual centre to learn and recapitulate a route, a feature referred to as "fractional position of mass" (FPM). In this work, we use a simple model constrained by the known neuroanatomy and information processing properties of the Mushroom Bodies to explore whether the apparent use of the FPM could be a resulting factor of the bilateral organisation of the insect brain, all the whilst assuming a simple "retinotopic" view representation. …”
