Aversive Learning of Colored Lights in Walking Honeybees
The honeybee has been established as an important model organism in studies on visual learning. So far the emphasis has been on appetitive conditioning, simulating floral discrimination, and homing behavior, where bees perform exceptionally well in visual discrimination tasks. However, bees in the wild also face dangers, and recent findings suggest that what is learned about visual percepts is ...
متن کاملAversive Reinforcement Improves Visual Discrimination Learning in Free-Flying Honeybees
BACKGROUND Learning and perception of visual stimuli by free-flying honeybees has been shown to vary dramatically depending on the way insects are trained. Fine color discrimination is achieved when both a target and a distractor are present during training (differential conditioning), whilst if the same target is learnt in isolation (absolute conditioning), discrimination is coarse and limited...

418 August 2014 Anesthesiology, V 121 • No 2 418 August 2014 IIn the Neuro/Trauma ICU, the patients were arranged like artwork. Statuesque figures projected their sculptured, angular images in a gallery of haloed subjects suspended in animation. Some were conscious, and some were elsewhere. On this particular dreary day in December, I noticed a group of family members—a mother and two daughters...
متن کاملAversive Conditioning in Honeybees (Apis melliferd)
Learning in honeybees, previously studied by appetitive techniques, was studied here by aversive techniques. In one series of experiments, a shuttle box was used, with the odor of formic acid as the aversive stimulus. A punishment contingency was found to suppress shuttling more in master animals than in yoked controls, whereas escape and unsignaled avoidance contingencies facilitated shuttling...
متن کاملDifferent Roles for Honey Bee Mushroom Bodies and Central Complex in Visual Learning of Colored Lights in an Aversive Conditioning Assay
The honey bee is an excellent visual learner, but we know little about how and why it performs so well, or how visual information is learned by the bee brain. Here we examined the different roles of two key integrative regions of the brain in visual learning: the mushroom bodies and the central complex. We tested bees' learning performance in a new assay of color learning that used electric sho...
