Context-dependent olfactory learning in an insect.
We studied the capability of the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus to select one of a pair of odors and to avoid the other in one context and to do the opposite in another context. One group of crickets was trained to associate one of a pair of odors (conditioned stimulus, CS1) with water reward (appetitive unconditioned stimulus, US+) and another odor (CS2) with saline solution (aversive US, US-) un...
متن کاملCircadian regulation of insect olfactory learning.
Olfactory learning in insects has been used extensively for studies on the neurobiology, genetics, and molecular biology of learning and memory. We show here that the ability of the cockroach Leucophaea maderae to acquire olfactory memories is regulated by the circadian system. We investigated the effect of training and testing at different circadian phases on performance in an odor-discriminat...
متن کاملContext-dependent olfactory learning monitored by activities of salivary neurons in cockroaches.
Context-dependent discrimination learning, a sophisticated form of nonelemental associative learning, has been found in many animals, including insects. The major purpose of this research is to establish a method for monitoring this form of nonelemental learning in rigidly restrained insects for investigation of underlying neural mechanisms. We report context-dependent olfactory learning (occas...
متن کاملLearning Context Dependent Concepts
This article presents the concept of context dependent classiication. In context dependent classiication of elementary objects, an elementary object is represented by a node in a graph. A node can be identiied to belong to a certain node class, if one of the characterizing contexts for that class can be embedded in the graph properly. Thus, the classiication of a node does not only depend on pr...
متن کاملSuppression of adult neurogenesis impairs olfactory learning and memory in an adult insect.
Although adult neurogenesis has now been demonstrated in many different species, the functional role of newborn neurons still remains unclear. In the house cricket, a cluster of neuroblasts, located in the main associative center of the insect brain, keeps producing new interneurons throughout the animal's life. Here we address the functional significance of adult neurogenesis by specific suppr...
