Learning and memory, defined as the acquisition and retention of neuronal representations
of new information, are ubiquitous among insects. Recent research indicates that a variety of …

Central to the study of cognition is being able to specify the Subject that is making decisions
and owning memories and preferences. However, all real cognitive agents are made of …

Synthetic biology and bioengineering provide the opportunity to create novel embodied
cognitive systems (otherwise known as minds) in a very wide variety of chimeric …

An emerging class of theories concerning the functional structure of the brain takes the
reuse of neural circuitry for various cognitive purposes to be a central organizational …

The mushroom bodies (MBs) are prominent structures in the Drosophila brain that are
essential for olfactory learning and memory. Characterization of the development and …

We have explored the organization of the axonal lobes in Drosophila mushroom bodies by
using a panel of immunohistochemical markers. These markers consist of antibodies to eight …

Many carnivore populations escaped extinction during the twentieth century as a result of
legal protections, habitat restoration, and changes in public attitudes. However, encounters …

Hydroxyurea (HU) treatment of early first instar larvae in Drosophila was previously shown to
ablate a single dividing lateral neuroblast (LNb) in the brain. Early larval HU application to P …

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is operationally defined as a long-lasting increase in synaptic
efficacy following high-frequency stimulation of afferent fibers. Since the first full description …

Hopkins' host-selection principle (HHSP) refers to the observation that many adult insects
demonstrate a preference for the host species on which they themselves developed as …
