Circadian clocks control rhythms in physiology and behavior entrained to 24 h light-dark cycles. Despite of conserved general schemes, molecular circadian clockworks differ between insect species. With RNA interference (RNAi) we examined an ancient c

Publikováno v: Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, Vol 11 (2017)

The honey bee is an excellent visual learner, but we know little about how and why it performs so well, or how visual information is learned by the bee brain. Here we examined the different roles of two key integrative regions of the brain in visual

International audience; Despite growing concerns over the impacts of agricultural pesticides on honey bee health, miticides (a group of pesticides used within hives to kill bee parasites) have received little attention. We know very little about how

Current progress in understanding the functions of the insect central complex

Autor: Andrew B. Barron, Jenny Aino Plath

The central complex is a group of neuropils in the center of the insect brain which performs higher sensory integration. This region is involved in diverse vital behavioral processes including visual processing, motor coordination, orientation and na

The evolution of honey bee dance communication: a mechanistic perspective

Autor: Jenny Aino Plath, Andrew B. Barron

Publikováno v: The Journal of experimental biology. 220(Pt 23)

Honey bee dance has been intensively studied as a communication system, and yet we still know very little about the neurobiological mechanisms supporting how dances are produced and interpreted. Here, we discuss how new information on the functions o
