Honey bee dance has been intensively studied as a communication system, and yet we still
know very little about the neurobiological mechanisms supporting how dances are produced …

The honey bee is an excellent visual learner, but we know little about how and why it
performs so well, or how visual information is learned by the bee brain. Here we examined …

Biogenic amines modulate a range of social behaviours, including sociability and
mechanisms of group cohesion, in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Here, we tested if the …

The honey bee Apis mellifera is a major insect model for studying visual cognition. Free-
flying honey bees learn to associate different visual cues with a sucrose reward and may …

Simple Summary Appetite regulation is an important function necessary to maintain
energetic balance, but how honey bees accomplish this could vary as they age because …

Over the past decades, research on insect cognition has made considerable advances in
describing the ability of model species (in particular bees and fruit flies) to achieve cognitive …

Drug addiction is a chronic relapsing behavioral disorder. The high relapse rate has often
been attributed to the perseverance of drug-associated memories due to high incentive …

Many scientifically and agriculturally important insects use antennae to detect the presence
of volatile chemical compounds and extend their proboscis during feeding. The ability to …

Critical periods are important milestones in the maturation of an organism. It is characterized
by hormonal fluctuations and an outburst of dendritic branching and axonal growth, followed …

Given the under-representation of genetic analyses of spatial learning in honeybee
literature, I designed an experiment to investigate gene expression profiles associated with …
