In mandibulate arthropods, the primary olfactory centers, termed olfactory lobes in
crustaceans, are typically organized in distinct fields of dense synaptic neuropils called …

The capacity and condition under which the lateral transfer of olfactory memory is possible in
insects is still debated. Here, we present evidence in two species of honeybees, Apis …
