The honeybee Apis mellifera has emerged as a robust and influential model for the study of
classical conditioning, thanks to the existence of a powerful Pavlovian conditioning protocol …

Equipped with a mini brain smaller than one cubic millimeter and containing only 950,000
neurons, honeybees could be indeed considered as having rather limited cognitive abilities …

The past 50 years have seen an accumulation of evidence suggesting that associative
learning depends on high-level cognitive processes that give rise to propositional …

The brain of a honeybee contains only 960 000 neurons and its volume represents only
1mm3. However, it supports impressive behavioral capabilities. Honeybees are equipped …

Learning theories distinguish elemental from configural learning based on their different
complexity. Although the former relies on simple and unambiguous links between the …

To understand how odor information is represented and processed in the antennal lobe (AL)
of Drosophila melanogaster, we have optically recorded glomerular calcium responses to …

Background: Drosophila larvae possess only 21 odorant-receptor neurons (ORNs), whereas
adults have 1,300. Does this suggest that the larval olfactory system is built according to a …

The honeybee Apis mellifera has been a central insect model in the study of olfactory
perception and learning for more than a century, starting with pioneer work by Karl von …
