Side-specific operant conditioning of antennal movements in the honey bee.
Operant conditioning of antennal movements in honey bees was used to investigate whether learned changes on one antenna influence antennal movements of the contralateral antenna. Conditioning of the right antenna did not alter antennal movements of the left antenna and subsequent conditioning of the left antenna did not abolish the previously learned change in the right antenna. Thus, the antennal systems on each side are largely independent from each other.
