AbstractThe European honeybee, Apis mellifera is the most common insect model system for studying learning and memory. We establish that the olfactory system of Apis dorsata, an Asian species of honeybee as an equivalent model to Apis mellifera to study physiology underlying learning and memory. We created an Atlas of the antennal lobe and counted the number of glomeruli in the antennal lobe of Apis dorsata to be around 165 which is similar to the number in the other honey bee species Apis mellifera and Apis florea. Apis dorsata was found to have five antenno-cerebral tracts namely mACT, lACT and 3 mlACTS which appear identical to Apis mellifera. Intracellular recording showed that the antennal lobe interneurons exhibit temporally patterned odor-cell specific responses. The neuritis of Kenyon cells with cell bodies located in a neighborhood in calyx retain their relative neighborhoods in the peduncle and alpha lobe forming a columnar organization in the mushroom body. Alpha lobe and the calyx of the mushroom body were innervated by extrinsic neurons with cell bodies in the lateral protocerebrum. A set of GABA positive cells in the lateral protocerebrum send their neurites towards alpha-lobe. Apis dorsata was amenable to olfactory conditioning and showed good learning and memory retention at 24 hours. They were amenable to massed and spaced conditioning and could distinguish trained odor from an untrained novel odor.

AbstractOrganophosphate insecticides are known to inhibit the activity of enzyme acetylcholinesterase. They affect olfactory learning and memory formation in honeybees. These insecticides cause mushroom body inactivation in honeybees, but their influence on other brain regions involved in olfactory perception and memory is unknown. The goal of this study was to study the effects of organophosphate insecticide diazinon on carnolian honeybee (Apis mellifera carnica) acetylcholinesterase activity in the olfactory brain regions of antennal lobe, mushroom body and lateral procerebrum (lateral horn). The lamina, medulla and lobula of optic lobes were also analyzed. The level of acetylcholinesterase activity was visualized using the histochemical staining method. Densitometric analysis of histochemical signals indicated that diazinon inhibited acetylcholinesterase activity only in the lip of calyces of mushroom body, but not in other analyzed olfactory regions, antennal lobe and lateral procerebrum. The visual brain system optic lobes were also unaffected. This is in accordance with the literature reporting that mushroom body is the main brain center for olfactory learning and memory formation in honeybees.
