Remarkable advances in our understanding of olfactory perception have been made in
recent years, including the discovery of new mechanisms of olfactory signaling and new …

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 …

Honeybees are highly social insects with a rich behavioral repertoire and are a versatile
model for neurobiological research. Their gut microbiota comprises a limited number of host …

Insects detect odorants primarily using odorant receptors (OR) housed in the dendritic
membrane of olfactory sensory neurons (OSN). Pioneering studies indicated that insects …

The primary olfactory brain center, the antennal lobe (AL) in insects or the olfactory bulb in
vertebrates, is a notable example of a neural network for sensory processing. While …

The question of whether or not neural activity patterns recorded in the olfactory centres of the
brain correspond to olfactory perceptual measures remains unanswered. To address this …

The removal of pollen by flower‐visiting insects is costly to plants, not only in terms of
production, but also via lost reproductive potential. Modern angiosperms have evolved …

With less than a million neurons, the western honeybee Apis mellifera is capable of complex
olfactory behaviors and provides an ideal model for investigating the neurophysiology of the …

Odours are represented by specific ensembles of activated glomeruli in a combinatorial
manner within the olfactory bulb of vertebrates or the antennal lobe (AL) of insects. Here, we …

Ten distinct eye designs have been identified in the animal kingdom. Whereas vertebrates
possess only one, invertebrates possess all ten, from simple assemblies of photoreceptors …
