Synapsin-based approaches to brain plasticity in adult social insects
2016, Current Opinion in Insect ScienceCitation Excerpt :This review focuses on the neurobiological perspective. Changes in the morphology of Kenyon cell dendritic spines in association with orientation flights and foraging in honey bees (Apis mellifera) provided early evidence of MB plasticity [12,13]. In the 1990s, analyses based on the Cavalieri Principle were used to estimate regional brain volumes in honey bees.
Fine structure of synaptic sites and circuits in mushroom bodies of insect brains
2016, Arthropod Structure and DevelopmentCommunication breakdown: The impact of ageing on synapse structure
2014, Ageing Research ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Strangely, this axon is lost while auditory behavior remains active, so the consequence of its loss is not clear. Age-related changes in spine synapse morphology on the dendrites of spiny Kenyon cells in the brains of worker honeybees (Coss et al., 1980) are somewhat reminiscent of changes seen in spines in the ageing vertebrate forebrain. As noted above, the ageing forebrain, especially the frontal cortex, can show a loss of thin spines in favor of short, thick, mushroom-like ones.
Rho GTPase activity in the honey bee mushroom bodies is correlated with age and foraging experience
2012, Journal of Insect PhysiologyCitation Excerpt :The neuropils associated with the mushroom bodies are significantly larger in more experienced foragers than in less experienced foragers (Durst et al., 1994; Withers et al., 1993). Foraging experience has also been linked to changes in mushroom body dendritic spine morphology and to changes in the number and volume of areas of synaptic contact in the calyces of the mushroom bodies called microglomeruli (Coss et al., 1980; Krofczik et al., 2008). Studies of precocious foragers indicated that the changes in the mushroom body neuropils reflect primarily foraging experience rather than age (Farris et al., 2001; Withers et al., 1993).
Synapse formation in adult barrel cortex following naturalistic environmental enrichment
2011, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Spine enlargement has been known to occur primarily in small spines transforming them into larger spines (Matsuzaki et al., 2004) thereby effecting spine turnover (Trachtenberg et al., 2002). Spines are known to undergo experience-dependent morphological plasticity during adulthood (Chang and Greenough, 1984; Connor et al., 1980; Desmond and Levy, 1986; Trachtenberg et al., 2002; Holtmaat et al., 2005; Hofer et al., 2006, 2009; Jasińska et al., 2006, 2010; Goshen et al., 2009) and following social stimulation (Coss et al., 1980). This may be because of a correlation between spine dimensions and calcium concentrations in spine heads, important in the phosphorylation of synaptic proteins that is necessary for long-term synaptic plasticity (review Segal, 2005).
Muscarinic regulation of Kenyon cell dendritic arborizations in adult worker honey bees
2011, Arthropod Structure and DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :Three previous studies have directly examined spine density on dendrites of honey bee Kenyon cells (Coss et al., 1980; Brandon and Coss, 1982; Farris et al., 2001). Our study differs from these earlier studies in that we examined the density of spines in three distinct regions (proximal, medial, and distal with respect to the primary neurite) of the dendritic field rather than pooling all spines visible in a single plane of focus (Coss et al., 1980; Brandon and Coss, 1982) or measuring a single region (which corresponds to our defined medial region; Farris et al., 2001). We found that, while manipulation of muscarinic signaling did not affect total spine density, the distal region always had nearly twice as many total spines as either the proximal or medial regions.
