Active sensing movements by antennae enhance neural processing and plasticity for odour processing in the CNS in the honey bee Apis mellifera

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

Neural coding of isopentyl acetate alarm pheromone signals in the honey bee brain

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

Effects of Bimodal Olfactory and Mechanosensory Inputs in the Antennal Lobe of the Honeybee Apis mellifera

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

Octopamine and tyramine dynamics predict learning rate phenotypes during associative conditioning in honey bees

Neuron synchronization analyzed through spatial-temporal attention

This paper introduces a spatial-temporal attention normalizing flow to model neuron synchronization in the insect antennal lobe, revealing interactions between cell types and odorant mixture dynamics.

Plasticity in inhibitory networks improves pattern separation in early olfactory processing

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.

Novelty detection in early olfactory processing of the honey bee, Apis mellifera

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