[The morphological basis of conditioned reflex in the honeybee Apis mellifera L]

A review. Works related to research into the neuroanatomical basis of associative learning in the honeybee (proboscis extension reflex) are summarized. Data on the brain organization of the honeybee are presented. The parallel neural pathways of conditioned and unconditioned stimuli are shown. Contribution of different brain structures and identified neurons (VUMmx1, PE1) in the formation of the proboscis extension reflex are discussed.
