Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) initiate extensive air showers (EAS) through their interactions with molecules in the Earth’s atmosphere, producing massive cascades of secondary particles. Measurements of these showers enable the study of both the properties of the primary cosmic rays and the high-energy hadronic interactions that govern shower development. However, due to the intrinsic...
It has been demonstrated that Drosophila melanogaster and other insects are capable of associating locations in space with rewards and use this knowledge later on, but the concrete mechanisms underlying this ability are not entirely understood. This project aims to shed light into the specific sensory and motor features underlying visual place learning in insects.
Because of its many...
