对动物交流系统的研究表明，对显著信号的感知会导致大脑基因表达的大规模变化，但人们对交流如何影响发送者的神经基因组状态知之甚少。我们通过研究产生振动调制信号的蜜蜂来探索这个问题。我们之所以选择这个系统，是因为它代表了动物交流的一个极端情况;有些蜜蜂会密集地进行这种行为，有效地充当了交流专家。我们发现，与仔细匹配的非振动信号相比，产生振动信号的个体之间的大脑基因表达模式存在很大差异。一些差异调节的基因先前已经涉及其他运动活动的表现，包括黑腹果蝇的求偶行为和人类的帕金森病。我们的研究结果首次证明了神经基因组大脑状态与发送通信信号相关，并为运动控制的分子根源提供了暗示性的一瞥。
Studies of animal communication systems have revealed that the perception of a salient signal can cause large-scale changes in brain gene expression, but little is known about how communication affects the neurogenomic state of the sender. We explored this issue by studying honey bees that produce a vibratory modulatory signal. We chose this system because it represents an extreme case of animal communication; some bees perform this behavior intensively, effectively acting as communication specialists. We show large differences in patterns of brain gene expression between individuals producing vibratory signal as compared with carefully matched non-senders. Some of the differentially regulated genes have previously been implicated in the performance of other motor activities, including courtship behavior in Drosophila melanogaster and Parkinson's Disease in humans. Our results demonstrate for the first time a neurogenomic brain state associated with sending a communication signal and provide suggestive glimpses of molecular roots for motor control.
