Learning and Memory: A Synthesis of Flies and Honeybees
This workshop, a follow-up to the first one held in fall 2008, focused on recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of learning and memory in Drosophila and the honeybee. It included discussions of learning that occurs through several different sensory systems along with the anatomy, cell and molecular biology, physiology, and genetics that supports memory formation and persistence.
