Grasshoppers move according to their senses or vision

A recent study by scientists from Cambridge University (UK) found that grasshoppers correctly positioned each step based on sight, not feeling.

This result goes against previous studies that suggest that most grasshoppers rely on tactile bodies to go or follow the 'feeling', and assume that with small brains, locusts rely on sight to Going or flying seems to be too high.

The article, published in the journal Modern Biology, said scientists from Cambridge University conducted a series of experiments by letting grasshoppers crawl on ladders, then taking photos with high-speed cameras to capture. stumbling state when moving the grasshopper.

In addition, the scientists observed how the locust's movement after having removed the tactile organ, the transfusion organ, blackened one of their eyes and removed a horizontal bar of the ladder.

The observed results show that the way of traveling through sight of grasshoppers is similar to that of humans, however, it is simpler in form.

According to scientists, this study has helped them learn how grasshoppers use their relatively small and relatively simple neurons to perform the same mobility as in humans or in vertebrate. /.
