Ants communicate via large arrays of pheromones and possess expanded, highly complex olfactory systems, with antennal lobes in the brain comprising up to ∼500 glomeruli. This expansion implies that odors could activate hundreds glomeruli, which would pose challenges for higher-order processing. To study this problem, we generated transgenic ants expressing genetically encoded calcium indicator GCaMP sensory neurons. Using two-photon imaging, mapped complete glomerular responses four ant alarm pheromones. Alarm robustly activated ≤6 activity maps three inducing panic our species converged on a single glomerulus. These results demonstrate that, rather than using broadly tuned combinatorial encoding, employ precise, narrowly tuned, stereotyped representations The identification central hub glomerulus behavior suggests simple neural architecture is sufficient translate pheromone perception into behavioral outputs.

Understanding of the neural bases for complex behaviors in Hymenoptera insect species has been limited by a lack tools that allow measuring neuronal activity simultaneously different brain regions. Here, we developed first pan-neuronal genetic driver Hymenopteran model organism, honey bee, and expressed calcium indicator GCaMP6f under control bee synapsin promoter. We show is widely brain, allowing to record from multiple To assess power this tool, focused on olfactory system, recording simultaneous responses antennal lobe, more poorly investigated lateral horn (LH) mushroom body (MB) calyces.

The use of agricultural neonicotinoid insecticides has sub-lethal chronic effects on bees that are more prevalent than acute toxicity. Among these insecticides, thiacloprid, a commonly used compound with low toxicity, attracted significant attention due to its potential impact the olfactory and learning abilities honeybees. effect larval exposure thiacloprid antennal activity adult honeybees ( Apis mellifera L.) is not yet fully understood. To address this knowledge gap, laboratory-based experiments were conducted in which honeybee larvae administered (0.5 mg/L 1.0 mg/L). Using electroantennography (EAG), impacts selectivity common floral volatiles evaluated. Additionally, odor-related memory also assessed. results study reveal, for first time, decreased antenna EAG responses scents, leading increased high-dose (1.0 mg/L) group compared control (0 vs . mg/L: p = 0.042). suggest negatively affected odor-associated paired acquisition, as well medium-term (1 h) 0.019) long-term (24 0.037) amplitudes dramatically reduced following R-linalool training 0.001; 0 0.5 0.027), while activities only differed significantly between unpaired groups.

Abstract Understanding the neural principles governing taste perception in species that bear economic importance or serve as research models for other sensory modalities constitutes a strategic goal. Such is case of honey bee ( Apis mellifera ), which environmentally and socioeconomically important, given its crucial role pollinator agent agricultural landscapes has served traditional model visual olfactory neurosciences on communication, navigation, learning memory. Here we review current knowledge gustatory receptors to provide an integrative view peripheral detection this insect, highlighting specificities commonalities with insect species. We describe behavioral electrophysiological responses several tastant categories relate these responses, whenever possible, known molecular receptor mechanisms. Overall, adopted evolutionary comparative perspective understand define key questions should be answered future centered insect.

The neuropeptide F (NPF) and its short version (sNPF) mediate food- stress-related responses in solitary insects. In the honeybee, a social insect where food collection defensive are socially regulated, only sNPF has an identified receptor. Here we increased artificially levels honeybee foragers studied consequences of this manipulation various forms appetitive aversive responsiveness. Increasing partially fed bees turned them into equivalent starved animals, enhancing both their consumption responsiveness to gustatory olfactory stimuli. Neural activity circuits animals was reduced could be rescued by treatment level bees. contrast, had no effect on nociceptive Our results thus identify as key modulator hunger food-related bees, which at core foraging activities.

The focus of bee neuroscience has for a long time been on only handful social honeybee and bumblebee species, out thousands bees species that have described. On the other hand, information about chemical ecology is much more abundant. Here we attempted to compile scarce olfactory systems across species. We also review major categories intra- inter-specific behaviors bees, with specific recent literature. finish by discussing most promising avenues research in near future.
