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 …

Much progress has been made recently in understanding how olfactory coding works in
insect brains. Here, I propose a wiring diagram for the major steps from the first processing …

Taste is crucial for honeybees for choosing profitable food sources, resins, water sources,
and for nestmate recognition. Peripheral taste detection occurs within cuticular hairs, the …

The insect mushroom body is a higher order integration center involved in cross-sensory
integration and memory formation. The relatively large mushroom bodies of social …

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 …

Attention allows animals to respond selectively to competing stimuli, enabling some stimuli
to evoke a behavioral response while others are ignored. How the brain does this remains …

Odor learning induces structural and functional modifications throughout the olfactory
system, but it is currently unknown whether this plasticity extends to the olfactory receptors …

Simple Summary Nosema disease of honey bees is caused by the fungus Nosema ceranae,
which multiplies and damages cells lining the digestive tract, impairing food digestion and …

We investigated the effect of associative learning on early sensory processing, by combining
classical conditioning with in vivo calcium‐imaging of secondary olfactory neurons, the …

Evolutionary theory predicts that herbivorous insects should lay eggs on plants in a way that
reflects the suitability of each plant species for larval development. Empirical studies …
