TLDR
It is reported that growth of the mushroom body neuropil in adult bees occurs throughout adult life and continues after bees begin to forage, indicating that, under natural conditions, the cytoarchitectural complexity of neurons in the mushroom bodies of adult honeybees increases as a function of increasing age, but that foraging experience promotes additional dendritic branching and growth.Citations

Structure of the mushroom bodies of the insect brain
TL;DR: This review provides a concise, contemporary overview of the structure of the mushroom bodies and discusses the volume plasticity of mushroom body neuropils evident in the brains of some adult insects and a possible essential role for the gamma lobe in olfactory memory.

TL;DR: A successful dissection of gene expression indicates that, for social behavior, gene expression in the brain can provide a robust indicator of the interaction between hereditary and environmental information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synaptic organization in the adult honey bee brain is influenced by brood-temperature control during pupal development.
TL;DR: It is concluded that thermoregulatory control of brood rearing can generate area- and modality-specific effects on synaptic neuropils in the adult brain, and proposed that resulting differences in the synaptic circuitry may affect neuronal plasticity and may underlie temperature-mediated effects on multimodal communication and learning.

Individual Experience Alone Can Generate Lasting Division of Labor in Ants

TL;DR: It is shown that, all else being equal, ant workers engaged in distinct functions in accordance with their previous experience and this self-organized task-attribution system, based on an individual learning process, is particularly robust and might play an important role in colony efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term memory leads to synaptic reorganization in the mushroom bodies: a memory trace in the insect brain?
TL;DR: Stable structural synaptic rearrangements, including the growth of new synapses, seem to be a common property of insect and mammalian brain networks involved in the storage of stable memory traces.
