蜜蜂的大脑仅包含约96万个神经元，大小为1毫米（3）。然而，它支持令人印象深刻的行为能力。蜜蜂具有复杂的感觉系统，并具有良好的学习和记忆能力，其基本机制与脊椎动物没有显著差异。这篇文章的重点是蜜蜂的复杂学习。我们提出了蜜蜂大脑的基本组织，并表明有一个公平的机会，了解蜜蜂的复杂行为，并确定潜在的神经基板这种行为。
The brain of a honey bee only contains about 960 000 neurons and is 1 mm(3) in size. However, it supports impressive behavioural capabilities. Honey bees are equipped with sophisticated sensory systems and have well developed learning and memory capacities whose essential mechanisms do not differ drastically from those of vertebrates. This article focuses on complex learning by honey bees. We present the basic organization of the bee brain and show that there is a fair chance of understanding complex behaviour in bees and identifying the potential neural substrates underlying such behaviour.
