This research investigates the neural mechanisms behind advanced learning in honeybees using virtual reality and neural imaging techniques. It aims to uncover how these insects achieve complex cognitive tasks despite their small brain size.
There is a common perception that larger brains mediate higher cognitive capacity.
Social insects, however, demonstrate that sophisticated cognition is possible with miniature brains.
Honeybees display higher-order learning such as categorization, non-linear discriminations, concept learning and numerosity, which are unique among insects.
These capacities are mediated by a miniature brain with only 950 000 neurons.
Despite extensive behavioral analyses, no study has attempted to elucidate the ne…
