| Insect learning: trace conditioning and spike timing-dependent plasticity |
| The most well-known molecular mechanism of learning involves coincidence detection. In post-synaptic LTP, the NMDA receptor only opens fully if a postsynaptic depolarization has removed the magnesium block by the time g...[more] |

| The authoritative instruction for conditioning honey bees |
| Most of my colleagues here at our institute work on honeybees. Many of them train bees to extend their proboscis to particular odors and then study the processes which mediate memory formation. This proboscis extension r...[more] |
