Honeybees consolidate navigation memory during sleep.
Sleep is known to support memory consolidation in animals, including humans. Here we ask whether consolidation of novel navigation memory in honeybees depends on sleep. Foragers were exposed to a forced navigation task in which they learned to home more efficiently from an unexpected release site by acquiring navigational memory during the successful homing flight. This task was quantified usin...
متن کاملContext Odor Presentation during Sleep Enhances Memory in Honeybees
Sleep plays an important role in stabilizing new memory traces after learning [1-3]. Here we investigate whether sleep's role in memory processing is similar in evolutionarily distant species and demonstrate that a context trigger during deep-sleep phases improves memory in invertebrates, as it does in humans. We show that in honeybees (Apis mellifera), exposure to an odor during deep sleep tha...
متن کاملClosed-Loop Targeted Memory Reactivation during Sleep Improves Spatial Navigation
Sounds associated with newly learned information that are replayed during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep can improve recall in simple tasks. The mechanism for this improvement is presumed to be reactivation of the newly learned memory during sleep when consolidation takes place. We have developed an EEG-based closed-loop system to precisely deliver sensory stimulation at the time of down-s...
متن کاملSleep deprivation affects extinction but not acquisition memory in honeybees.
Sleep-like behavior has been studied in honeybees before, but the relationship between sleep and memory formation has not been explored. Here we describe a new approach to address the question if sleep in bees, like in other animals, improves memory consolidation. Restrained bees were observed by a web camera, and their antennal activities were used as indicators of sleep. We found that the bee...
متن کاملSleep in honeybees: its role in learning and memory
Sleep-like behavior has been studied in honeybees before but the possibility of sleep related memory processes had not been explored. We here describe a new technique which allowed us to not only investigate sleep parameters but also to manipulate bees to perform learning tasks. Restrained bees were placed under a web camera and their antennal activities, which we used as indicators of sleep, w...
