Title of Image: The blooming human cerebral cortex in a dish Description of Image: Section of a human cortical spheroid derived from stem cells shows progenitors (pink) and dividing cells (green) around a ventricle-like structure. This 3D culture resembles the fetal cerebral cortex.

Title of Image: Colony interaction network Description of Image: Brain networks operate by the combined actions of neurons, and an ant colony operates by the combined actions of many individual ants. We are investigating how ants use an evidence accumulation process to make foraging decisions. Films from field observations were used to track ants to obtain the paths shown here. The dots are locations of interactions between ants, and the colors represent different start and end locations for the trajectories. We constructed images similar to what is shown here to visualize how returning foragers (green and yellow) exchange information with potential foragers (blue and red), and how this influences ant foraging decisions. Although the ants only exchange local information by meeting other ants, these interactions form a colony-level interaction network and lead to the remarkable collective behavior response of the colony.
