The honeybee (Apis mellifera) has long served as an invertebrate model organism for
reward learning and memory research. Its capacity for learning and memory formation is …

Honeybees are able to solve complex learning tasks and memorize learned information for
long time periods. The molecular mechanisms mediating long-term memory (LTM) in the …

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 …

The honeybee has been established as an important model organism in studies on visual
learning. So far the emphasis has been on appetitive conditioning, simulating floral …

Extinction of classical conditioning is thought to produce new learning that masks or
interferes with the original memory. However, research in the nudibranch Hermissenda …

Recovery-from-extinction effects in which a conditioned response returns after extinction
have been shown in mammals, birds and fish. Thus, these effects appear to be conserved …

Previous experiments using tentacle lowering conditioning in terrestrial snails Cornu
aspersum have shown extinction and recovery of the conditioned response (CR) as a …

Highlights•Extinction is a crucial learning effect from theoretical and applied points of
view.•To understand extinction and its mechanisms a comparative approach is …

The present work is an experimental research of two learning contextual effects (latent
inhibition or LI and renewal) in the snail Cornu aspersum, using Classical Conditioning …

The behavioral phenomenon of extinction resembles the decrease of a conditioned
behavior when animals experience the presentation of a previously reinforced stimulus. In …
