Conditioned Discrimination in the Behavior-Genetic Analysis of the Blow Fly, Phormia Regina
… that an aspect of its feeding behavior, the proboscis extension reflex (PER), can be modified by both associative ("learned") and non-associative factors such as the central excitatory state (CES). Data are presented indicating that a procedure previously used to demonstrate classical …

Evaluation of the Functional Roles of TRPA1 Homologs, Painless and dTRPA1, in Chemical Nociception in Drosophila
… and <italic>dTRPA1</italic> mutants using the proboscis extension reflex (PER) and two-choice capillary feeding assays, both of which indicated the requirement for each channel in the aversion to AITC. Expression patterns of these two channels were evaluated to determine if there was any …

GENETIC DISSECTION OF AVERSION TO ALLYL ISOTHIOCYANATE IN Drosophila melanogaster
… double mutant using four behavioral assays: the proboscis extension reflex (PER), two-choice capillary feeding assay (CAFE), oviposition assay, and the locomotion assay. Results from studies using these assays all demonstrated the necessity of both receptors in the behavioral aversion to AITC. …

Olfactory learning, its development and changing role in Honeybee (Apis Mellifera) behaviour
… odours, paired with a sucrose reward, using the proboscis extension reflex (PER) learning paradigm. This thesis aims to establish any differences in the behavioural parameters of this olfactory learning. A strong, repeatable methodology is developed, and this specificity of the learning, tested …

Role of labellar and ovipositor taste sensilla of Drosophila suzukii in host recognition: a morpho-functional and behavioural approach.
… sites. Aim of the second study was to evaluate peripheral sensitivity and palatability to different carbohydrates and assess their nutritional value, in adult insects of D. suzukii, by means of an electrophysiological and behavioural approach. The spike activity was recorded from the labellar …

The role of intensity, temporal synchrony, and biogenic amines for unimodal and multimodal integration during learning and memory of honey bees and bumble bees
… suggesting that bees exhibit enhanced perceptual processing when exposed to synchronous bimodal stimuli, particularly at lower levels. Additionally, I found that alternate temporal orders of asynchronous stimuli affected performance only at low intensities. Finally, in chapter 3 I …
