Ajay Narendra.

Ajay Narendra is a Professor of Invertebrate Neuroethology at Macquarie University, studying how cognitive and neural mechanisms support spatial learning, memory, and navigation.

• Why it matters: Understanding how organisms acquire, store, and use spatial information is key to explaining efficient navigation and the neural basis of memory.
• What they did: Narendra’s research focuses on cognitive and neural mechanisms of spatial learning and memory, emphasizing the pipeline from information acquisition to retention and navigation use.
• The result: This work frames spatial learning and memory as a process linking neural mechanisms to efficient navigation, guiding future studies of how spatial information is translated into behavior.
