TL;DR: The first genome sequence of a nondipteran insect vector of an important human parasitic disease is described, which provides critical information on the physiology and evolution of this important vector species and should be instrumental for the development of innovative disease control methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrophysiological and behavioural characterization of gustatory responses to antennal ‘bitter’ taste in honeybees
TL;DR: It is concluded that no receptor cells for the bitter substances tested, exist at the level of the antennal tip of the honeybee and that antenNal bitter taste is not represented as a separate perceptual quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural Organization and Visual Processing in the Anterior Optic Tubercle of the Honeybee Brain
Theo Mota,Nobuhiro Yamagata,Nobuhiro Yamagata,Martin Giurfa,Martin Giurfa,Wulfila Gronenberg,Jean-Christophe Sandoz,Jean-Christophe Sandoz +7 more
TL;DR: A novel protocol for performing optophysiological recordings of visual circuit activity in the honeybee brain and the results suggest an involvement of the AOTu in the processing of dorsoventrally segregated visual information in the Honeybee brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Color modulates olfactory learning in honeybees by an occasion-setting mechanism.
TL;DR: It is shown that intact, harnessed bees are not capable of learning a direct association between color and sucrose, and this opens the door for studying the neural basis of such bimodal, nonelemental discriminations in insects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromatic Processing in the Anterior Optic Tubercle of the Honey Bee Brain
Theo Mota,Theo Mota,Theo Mota,Wulfila Gronenberg,Martin Giurfa,Martin Giurfa,Jean-Christophe Sandoz +6 more
TL;DR: In vivo calcium imaging of interneurons in the anterior optic tubercle (AOTu) of honey bees upon visual stimulation of the compound eye provides evidence for a spatial segregation of color processing in the AOTu, which may serve for navigation purposes.
