Popis: We developed a computational model of learning in the MushroomBody, a region of multimodal integration in the insect brain. Usingrealistic neural dynamics and a biologically-based learning rule (spike timingdependent plasticity), the model is tested as part of an insect braininspired architecture within a closed loop behavioural task. Replicatingin simulation an experiment carried out on bushcrickets, we show the systemcan successfully associate visual to auditory cues, so as to maintain asteady heading towards an intermittent sound source.
