The sensory and cognitive basis of distance estimation in teleost fish

Abstract:

The ability to measure travel distances is central to navigating by path integration. A path integrating animal constantly and automatically sums movement vectors containing distance and direction self-motion information, providing it with a global vector home to a starting position. This allows the animal to at any time compute novel shortcuts through its familiar area, and reduces the reliance on external positional information to navigate.

Distance estimation has been widely ...
