Trained goldfish showed a remarkable ability to accurately estimate the distance that they had swam. The neural circuits that underpin spatial navigation in mammals, birds, and reptiles are well known ...

The upcoming Belmont Stakes (gr. I) serves as a good excuse to illustrate how to estimate a runner’s optimal racing distance. The estimates for Belmont probables in the supplemental table are based on ...

A way of estimating more accurate distances to the thousands of so-called "planetary nebulae" dispersed across our Galaxy has just been announced by a team of three astronomers based at the University ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- The star Chi Cygni is located about 550 light-years away, in the direction of the constellation of Cygnus the Swan. It is a notable star because, unlike the sun which still burns ...

To investigate whether fish have similar spatial navigation systems to terrestrial species, researchers from the University of Oxford tested whether goldfish (Carassius auratus) could perform a task ...

The neural circuits that underpin spatial navigation in mammals, birds, and reptiles are well known, but it was unclear whether similar structures also existed in fish. This knowledge would allow us ...
