    So I guess learning is just a fundamental concept here but my question is if the more direct paths are due to anything other than addiction. Feed the ants caffeine in their nest and see if the paths to non-caffeinated sugar are as direct as those trying to locate caffeinated sugar sources. Also tests other addictive as well as stimulating substances.

    How do I get a job giving drugs to ants?
