Abstract Synopsis

  • Tracking an odour plume to find its source is challenging, but flying insects excel at this over long distances, guided by complex neural mechanisms.
  • Researchers utilized an in silico approach, training artificial recurrent neural networks with deep reinforcement learning to replicate the behaviour of insects in tracking simulated odour plumes that reflect real environmental conditions.
  • The study reveals that these AI agents show behaviour similar to insects and discover effective ways to process important information, providing insights into memory needs and neural dynamics related to tracking odour in varying wind directions.
