The Seat of Insect Learning.
Dyer, Fred C.
Natural History, v106 n8 p58-59 Sep 1997
Describes the role of mushroom bodies--cup-shaped structures perched atop the brain of an insect--in learning. Mushroom bodies may help fruit flies in learning meaningful odors, cockroaches in spatial learning, and honeybees both in locating pollen and nectar and in navigating back to the colony. (PVD)
