New research from Hebrew University proposes a novel, non-memory-based mechanism for how animals cache and retrieve food. Instead of relying on memory, the researchers suggest that animals use a neural mechanism similar to hash functions in computing, which allows for efficient storage and retrieval of cache locations.

    If I understand this correctly, would that mean that if we can predict the hashing “algorithm” we could do things like predict with high certainty where food is stored by various animals?
