The mechanisms of processing a visual scene involve segregating features (such as color)
into separate information channels at different stages within the brain, processing these …

Animals use vision to perform such diverse behaviors as finding food, interacting socially
with other animals, choosing a mate, and avoiding predators. These behaviors are complex …

Visual scenes comprise enormous amounts of information from which nervous systems
extract behaviorally relevant cues. In most model systems, little is known about the …

Color vision in honey bees (Apis mellifera) has been extensively studied at the behavioral
level and, to a lesser degree, at the physiological level by means of electrophysiological …

Colour is an important visual modality for many animals including insects. The flower-
foraging swallowtail butterfly Papilio xuthus has spectrally acute chromatic vision using UV …

Abstract Knowledge about processing of visual information in the bee brain mainly comes
from investigations on higher order interneurons. The first set of interneurons, the monopolar …

Visually guided behaviors require the brain to extract features of the visual world and to
integrate them in a context‐specific manner. Hymenopteran insects have been prime …

Attention allows animals to respond selectively to competing stimuli, enabling some stimuli
to evoke a behavioral response while others are ignored. How the brain does this remains …

Colour vision enables animals to detect and discriminate differences in chromatic cues
independent of brightness. How the bee visual system manages this task is of interest for …

The convergence of primary sensory neurons of the antennae, higher order visual
interneurons, and antennal motoneurons was analysed with neuroanatomical techniques in …
