Pattern Recognition in Insects
Overview

After 80 years of research, the field of insect pattern recognition is about to move from the behavioral to the neuronal level. Recent experiments on bees, ants and flies indicate that pattern recognition must be seen as the recruitment of behavioral operations that help the nervous system to solve a task using a small number of potentially simple processing steps. These may now be identified physiologically.
A heuristic underlies the search for relief in Drosophila melanogaster.
