This research investigates the evolutionary convergence of navigation strategies in dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and carpenter ants (Camponotus pennsylvanicus). It explores the role of dopaminergic subpopulations in the VTA and pheromone-modulated ring attractor networks in guiding path integration. Additionally, it highlights the role of voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 in regulating olfactory acuity in dogs. Using advanced imaging techniques, the study uncovers the molecular and neural mechanisms that enable both species to recalibrate navigational vectors despite significant evolutionary divergence. How do these findings contribute to understanding the common computational logic of navigation across species and their implications for bio-inspired robotics?
