A neuron (green and white) in an insect brain (blue) Insect cognition describes the mental capacities and study of those capacities in insects. The field developed from comparative psychology where early studies focused more on animal behavior. [1] Researchers have examined insect cognition in bees, fruit flies, and wasps. [2] [3]
Giurfa has published ca. 200 articles in international scientific journals in the fields of insect cognition, insect neurobiology and insect behavior, [13] many of them being highly cited. He is an Associate Editor of several scientific journals such as EJN , [ 14 ] Learning & Memory , [ 15 ] Animal Cognition [ 16 ] and Frontiers in Behavioral ...
Animal cognition encompasses the mental capacities of non-human animals, including insect cognition. The study of animal conditioning and learning used in this field was developed from comparative psychology .
Animal cognition is the title given to a modern approach to the mental capacities of non-human animals. It has developed out of comparative psychology , but has also been strongly influenced by the approach of ethology and behavioral ecology .
Distributed cognition is fundamentally contingent on and emergent from trending ideas among a collection of brains and artefacts. [18] This is conceptually similar to models of collective cognition in other social animal groups, which use agent based models to understanding insect swarming, fish schooling, bird flocking and baboon pack behaviors.

Sir Vincent Brian Wigglesworth CBE FRS [1] (17 April 1899 – 11 February 1994) was a British entomologist who made significant contributions to the field of insect physiology. [2] [3] He established the field in a textbook which was updated in a number of editions.
Forensic entomology is a branch of forensic science that studies insects found on corpses or elsewhere around crime scenes. This includes studying the types of insects commonly found on cadavers, their life cycles, their presence in different environments, and how insect assemblages change with decomposition. [16]
