This study shows that allowing honey bees to move their antennae during odor learning enhances neural processing and plasticity in the antennal lobes.

The paper examines how honey bees encode isopentyl acetate alarm pheromone signals in the antennal lobe using electrophysiological and morphological methods.

This paper shows that olfactory and mechanosensory signals integrate in the honeybee antennal lobe, supporting early multisensory processing in insects.

The paper investigates how inhibitory plasticity in the honeybee antennal lobe improves pattern separation during odor learning by suppressing shared compounds and enhancing distinct ones.

The paper identifies a low-dimensional hyperbolic map of fruit odor mixtures across ripening and fermentation stages, revealing spiral trajectories influenced by microbial processes.

This study investigates novelty detection in honey bees by analyzing behavioral and neuronal responses to familiar and novel odors in the antennal lobes.

This study shows that reduced olfactory experience in adult honey bees leads to less developed antennal lobes, reduced inter-individual variation in glomerular responses, and impaired odor discrimination in learning assays.

The paper investigates how mice generalize responses to odorant mixtures by testing models that predict perceptual similarity based on molecular nearest neighbors.
