AI Article Synopsis
- Animals use their memory of the last time they ate to improve their foraging strategies for future meals.
- A recent study identifies that this time memory is linked to a unique circadian clock that can be influenced by light.
- This discovery sheds light on the biological mechanisms that help animals optimize their feeding behavior based on time.
Article Abstract
