Complex Environments Drive Adaptive Hunting Strategies in Mice
Aidan Schneider, Jacob Amme, Keith Hengen · COSYNE 2025
Predatory behavior is crucial for survival and fitness in many species, evolving through complex interactions of genetics, adaptation, and learning. This interplay of innate and acquired neural mechanisms makes predation a rich subject for neuroscientific and neuroethological investigation. Current approaches to studying prey-capture use simple, barren setups that limit our understanding of how realistic environmental complexity impacts this process. This work presents both an experimental approach and analytical computational tools suitable to address these limitations. This study explores ho
