    "abstract": "Foraging is an embodied cognitive process which balances the\nsearch constraints of exploration versus exploitation. As such,\nforaging strategies and mechanisms offer useful insight into\nabstract forms of search such as visual search, problem solving,\nand semantic recall. We performed a series of simulations\nusing artificial neural networks to relate metastable neuronal\ndynamics to observed foraging behaviors. We show that the\nvelocity and tortuosity of the foraging paths are influenced by\nmetastable neuronal activity, while resource collection is\nunaffected. These initial results indicate that neuronal\nmetastability may contribute to foraging behaviors but\nadditional mechanisms are needed to optimally exploit\nenvironmental resources.",
