Hv1a/GNA consumption does not affect honeybee learning and memory. (a) The rate of learning is reduced in the positive control (the calcium channel blocker, benidipine HCl; Ben), whereas acute exposure to Hv1a/GNA (Hv1a), or GNA, does not significantly influence olfactory learning relative to the control (Con). Ncontrol = 20, NGNA = 20, NBen = 23, NHv1a/GNA = 23. (b) Short term memory (STM) was impaired for the Ben group, but not for the other treatments (lsc comparisons against the control: GNA, p = 0.740, Ben, p = 0.025, Hv1a/GNA, p = 0.661). (c) The rate of learning was not significantly different for bees fed Hv1a/GNA for 7 days. Ncontrol = 26, NHv1a/GNA = 20. (d) STM (10 min) and long term memory (24 h) were not significantly different for bees fed Hv1a/GNA prior to conditioning; con, control; Hv1a, Hv1a/GNA.
