▪ Abstract The past decade has produced an explosion of new information on the
development, neuroanatomy, and possible functions of the mushroom bodies. This review …

Ant colonies with permanent division of labour between castes and highly distinct roles of
the sexes have been conceptualized to be superorganisms, but the cellular and molecular …

Mushroom bodies (MBs), a higher-order center in the honeybee brain, comprise some
subtypes/populations of interneurons termed as Kenyon cells (KCs), which are distinguished …

Evolutionary dynamics of diversification of brain neuronal cell types that have underlain
behavioral evolution remain largely unknown. Here, we compared transcriptomes and …

Except in species that have undergone evolved loss, paired lobed centers referred to as"
mushroom bodies" occur across invertebrate phyla [1–5]. Unresolved is the question of …

We studied associative visual learning in harnessed honeybees trained with monochromatic
lights associated with a reward of sucrose solution delivered to the antennae and proboscis …

Honeybee workers express a pronounced age‐dependent polyethism switching from
various indoor duties to foraging outside the hive. This transition is accompanied by …

We previously reported preferential expression of genes for ecdysteroid signaling in the
mushroom bodies of honeybee workers, suggesting a role of ecdysteroid signaling in …

Mushroom bodies (MBs) are considered to be involved in higher‐order sensory processing
in the insect brain. To identify the genes involved in the intrinsic function of the honeybee …

We used a cDNA microarray to identify genes expressed in a caste (worker)‐and division of
labor (nurse bees or foragers)‐dependent manner in the honeybee brain. Among the …
