Colonies decide to flee rising temperatures in much the same way that neural computations give rise to decisions. Temperatures are rising, and one colony of ants will soon have to make a collective ...

Ant colonies make decisions similarly to neural networks in the brain. The corresponding study was published in PNAS. At a basic level, decision-making may be conceived as a series of computations ...

Temperatures are rising, and one colony of ants will soon have to make a collective decision. Each ant feels the rising heat beneath its feet but carries along as usual until, suddenly, the ants ...
