Failures that are not failures: unobserved sensory history predicts escape behavior

The paper shows that unobserved sensory history, specifically a light-to-dark transition, predicts escape behavior failures in locusts by inducing a grooming state that suppresses the jump escape response.

An NMDA-R mediated short-term memory resistant to anesthesia in adult Danio rerio

The paper investigates memory stability in zebrafish, finding that early-phase memory is resistant to cold and tricaine anesthesia and mediated by NMDA-R.

Evolutionarily conserved anatomical and physiological properties of olfactory pathway till fourth order neurons in a species of grasshopper (Hieroglyphus banian)

The paper compares the olfactory pathway of two grasshopper species, finding conserved anatomical and physiological features up to fourth order neurons, but differing in the number of antennal lobe tracts and a new class of bilateral neurons.

Characterization of the olfactory system in Apis dorsata, an Asian honey bee

This paper characterizes the olfactory system of Apis dorsata, showing it has a similar antennal lobe structure and learning capabilities to Apis mellifera.
