📢Hot off the press: "Neuronal correlates of sleep in honey bees"
#CalciumImaging🔬 in sleeping #bees🐝: Antennal lobe neurons synchronise stronger during #sleep, likely due to reduced GABAergic coupling. #SNN💻 simulations show reduced #odour processing, similar to human sleep😴.

Comparative study between D. melanogaster and the invasive D. suzukii. Significant differences in structure and function of the antennal lobes could be the basis for their different host-seeking behaviour causing huge crop damage: https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4450/16/1/84

New preprint with @urihasson : https://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2024.10.11.617548v1
First #calciumimaging of the #honeybee brain during #sleep.
#Machinelearning distinguishes sleep from wakefulness with 93% accuracy in #olfactory network. Clearest difference: the #neuralnetwork state. Nodes are more synchronized during sleep.
A simulation shows reduced inhibitory coupling during sleep, meaning less information processing. Increased inhibition during wakefulness leads to highly distinguishable odour maps. #CIMeC #UniTrento -
New paper in [Insects]:
#Bees can distinguish/memorize airflow velocities.Included is a detailed description of how to build a fully automated PER conditioning setup.

#CIMeC researchers will provide context about the brain as part of a program on #AI at @MUSE_Trento next week.
In the third-floor Discovery Room, @urihasson, @neurophysics, Raffaella Bernardi, Selene Schintu, Giulia Funghi and Heather Strelevitz – with the help of digital assistant Alexa – offer 3 perspectives on intelligence: animal, human and artificial.The after-hours program “Ai confini dell’intelligenza” runs from 8-11 pm Thurs 18 May.

📃The tip of the nose reliably changes temperature according to the level of #socialanxiety, while other parts of the face do not, report #CIMeC 's Javier Albayay and colleagues in Anxiety, Stress, & Coping. The team trained a thermal camera on subjects engaged in five #socialinteraction tasks. The task involving interactions with strangers was the most effective, even more so than public speaking, embarrassment or interaction with the opposite sex.

📃A robust #NumberSense at 12 months old predicts math skills at age 4, regardless of general intelligence or other skills, report @manuela_piazza and her #CIMeC Per2Con group in Developmental Science, after a #LongitudinalStudy of the same 40 children, three years apart. #EarlyMaths

📃Low levels of the soil odor geosmin suppress the #honeybee stinging response while higher levels do not, and a further investigation of olfactory receptor neurons offers possible explanations of that variability, reports Florencia Scarano of #CIMeC @neurophysics with Mukilan Deivarajan Suresh, Ettore Tiraboschi, Amélie Cabirol, Morgane Nouvian & @drtnowotny in a study in @SciReports.

📃A new neurogenetic tool will allow deeper exploration of the honeybee brain, particularly its highly developed olfactory system. The calcium-based sensor was developed and has been recently described by #CIMeC Prof. Albrecht Haase of @neurophysics and colleagues in @PLOSBiology
