The neurophysiological bases of the impact of neonicotinoid pesticides on the behaviour of honeybees
Acetylcholine is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the honeybee brain and controls a
wide range of behaviours that ensure the survival of the individuals and of the entire colony …

Synergistic olfactory processing for social plasticity in desert locusts
Desert locust plagues threaten the food security of millions. Central to their formation is
crowding-induced plasticity, with social phenotypes changing from cryptic (solitarious) to …

Integrity of corpus callosum is essential for the cross-hemispheric propagation of sleep slow waves: a high-density EEG study in split-brain patients
The slow waves of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep reflect experience-dependent
plasticity and play a direct role in the restorative functions of sleep. Importantly, slow waves …

The short neuropeptide F regulates appetitive but not aversive responsiveness in a social insect
The neuropeptide F (NPF) and its short version (sNPF) mediate food-and stress-related
responses in solitary insects. In the honeybee, a social insect where food collection and …

Impact of chronic exposure to two neonicotinoids on honey bee antennal responses to flower volatiles and pheromonal compounds
Volatile compounds provide important olfactory cues for honey bees (Apis mellifera L.),
which are essential for their ecology, behavior, and social communication. In the external …
