We take a close look at the Heliconiini central complex, how it evolves as a system very differently from the mushroom bodies, and how it might differ between spatially foraging Heliconius and closely related outgroups, through phylogenetic comparative methods and detailed anatomical analysis.
While there is loads of conservation, there are also some key differences, in regions that were predicted to be particularly prone to change, and also in ways that might make sense computationally for spatial foragers – so that’s cool!
