TLDR
It is concluded that there is a fair chance to understand complex behavior in bees, and to identify the potential neural substrates underlying such behavior by adopting a cognitive neuroethological approach.About:

Structural basis of long-term potentiation in single dendritic spines
TL;DR: The results indicate that spines individually follow Hebb's postulate for learning and suggest that small spines are preferential sites for long-term potentiation induction, whereas large spines might represent physical traces of long- term memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral and neural analysis of associative learning in the honeybee: a taste from the magic well
TL;DR: The results underline the enormous richness of experience-dependent behavior in honeybees, its high flexibility, and the fact that it is possible to formalize and characterize in controlled laboratory protocols basic and higher-order cognitive processing using an insect as a model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invertebrate learning and memory: Fifty years of olfactory conditioning of the proboscis extension response in honeybees
TL;DR: It is shown that olfactory PER conditioning has become a versatile tool for the study of questions in extremely diverse fields in addition to the studyof learning and memory and that it has allowed behavioral characterizations, not only of honeybees, but also of other insect species, for which the protocol was adapted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aversive Learning in Honeybees Revealed by the Olfactory Conditioning of the Sting Extension Reflex
TL;DR: Aversive learning in honeybees can now be accessed both at the behavioral and neural levels, thus opening new research avenues for understanding basic mechanisms of learning and memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceptual and Neural Olfactory Similarity in Honeybees
TL;DR: It is concluded that functional group and carbon-chain length are inner dimensions of the honeybee olfactory space and that neural activity in the antennal lobe reflects the perceptual quality of odours.

The dance language and orientation of bees
TL;DR: The Dance Language and Orientation of Bees as discussed by the authors is a seminal work in the field of honeybee behavior that describes in non-technical language what he discovered in a lifetime of study about honeybees - their methods of orientation, their sensory faculties, and their remarkable ability to communicate with one another.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for stimulus generalization in Pavlovian conditioning.
TL;DR: A selective review of experiments that can be said to demonstrate the effects of generalization decrement in Pavlovian condition is presented, and it is argued that an adequate theoretical explanation for them is currently not available.

Classical conditioning of proboscis extension in honeybees (Apis mellifera).
TL;DR: In a first series of experiments, acquisition was found to be very rapid, both in massing and in spaced trials; its associative basis was established by differential conditioning and by an explicitly unpaired control procedure (which produced marked resistance to acquisition in subsequent paired training); and both extinction and spontaneous recovery in massed trials were demonstrated.
