“…However, the addition of a negative reward (when the cue appears on the rear of the visual field) clearly corrects this problem ( figure 6B). This is of interest considering that insects are known to associate (innately or learned) positive or negative value to olfactory [40] and/or visual cues [2]. Even in the case of discrete filters, which did not carry any prior information of the cue's relative orientation, the model generates a consistent behaviour and coherent weight distribution for the E-PG to PFL3 synapses (figure 6C).…”

“…It is known that handling of insects induces stress and the release of neuromodulators, which can alter behaviour long after the cause of the stress has ceased (Davenport and Evans, 1984;Harris and Woodring, 1992;Roeder, 1999). A recent study has also shown how aversive experiences can quickly affect the behaviour of ants (Wystrach et al, 2020). The diminished need for manipulation of the animal also facilitates the transition between naturalistic fieldwork and a fully controlled laboratory approach.…”

“…However, tethering will inevitably induce physical discrepancies in the sensorimotor control of behaviour (Paulk et al, 2015;Stowers et al, 2017), potentially affecting the quantitative identification of sensorimotor transformation(s) from the analyses of input-output relationships. In addition, the constant constraints applied, both by the tether and by the inherent manipulations to set it, can quickly induce aversive experiences and subsequently change the behaviour of ants engaged in a navigation task (Wystrach et al, 2020). It also reduces the ease of transferring animals between the real world and VR, e.g.…”
