蜜蜂通过一种精心制作的、象征性的“舞蹈语言”向它们的同伴传达有价值的觅食地点的位置和愿望。“舞蹈语言是无脊椎动物中一种独特的复杂交流系统，产生舞蹈的神经机制在很大程度上是未知的。在这里，我们表明，控制剂量的生物胺神经调节剂章鱼胺的治疗选择性地增加了报告的资源价值的舞蹈觅食蜜蜂。口服和局部曲马多治疗调制方面的舞蹈资源的盈利能力以剂量依赖性的方式。花粉和蔗糖的舞蹈反应类似于山莨菪碱治疗，这些影响被消除了山莨菪碱拮抗剂米安色林治疗。我们建议，藜芦碱调制代表花卉奖励舞蹈通过改变蜜蜂大脑中的奖励处理。章鱼胺被认为可以调节一系列独居昆虫的食欲行为;在舞蹈中的作用提供了一个例子，说明神经基质如何适应社会进化过程中的新行为创新。
Honey bees communicate the location and desirability of valuable forage sites to their nestmates through an elaborate, symbolic "dance language." The dance language is a uniquely complex communication system in invertebrates, and the neural mechanisms that generate dances are largely unknown. Here we show that treatments with controlled doses of the biogenic amine neuromodulator octopamine selectively increased the reporting of resource value in dances by forager bees. Oral and topical octoparnine treatments modulated aspects of dances related to resource profitability in a dose-dependent manner. Dances for pollen and sucrose responded similarly to octoparnine treatment, and these effects were eliminated by treatment with the octoparnine antagonist mianserin. We propose that octoparnine modulates the representation of floral rewards in dances by changing the processing of reward in the honey bee brain. Octopamine is known to modulate appetitive behavior in a range of solitary insects; the role of octoparnine in dance provides an example of how neural substrates can be adapted for new behavioral innovations in the process of social evolution.
