Publication Title Distance-responsive genes found in dancing honey bees. Experiment Description "Here we show that regions of the honeybee brain involved in visual processing and learning and memory show a genomic response to distance information. Using a method that separates effects of perceived distance from effects of actual distance flown, we found that individuals forced to shift from a short to a perceived long distance to reach a feeding site showed differences in gene expression in the optic lobes and mushroom bodies relative to individuals that continued to perceive flying a short distance.

The hive was located in a climate-controlled indoor flight cage. "Individually marked foragers of similar ages (ca. 40 days) were trained for one day to collect 60% w/v sucrose solution by flying through a 1.83 m long tunnel with horizontal black and white striped pattern (grating frequency 1 cm) on the walls, distance experience=Short. On Day 2, the number of trips to the feeder and the dance behaviour of each focal bee were recorded manually and on videotape, respectively. On Day 3, the walls were changed to a vertical black and white striped pattern (grating frequency 1cm) Distance experience = Long, or to the same horizontal pattern to yield two groups: S-> S (horizontal pattern to horizontal pattern), S->L (horizontal pattern to vertical pattern) bees. After all focal bees took 1-3 foraging trips with the second pattern access to the tunnel was ended. 30 minutes later, all focal bees were removed from the observation hive and placed into liquid nitrogen." "200 ng RNA was amplified using MessageAmp II aRNA Amplification kits (Ambion, Austin, TX). 2 ug of amplified RNA was labeled with Cy3 or Cy5 dye using Kreatech labeling kits (Applied Biosystems, Salt Lake City, UT). 60pmol each of two sets of labeled probe were then hybridized to the arrays" Protocol Parameters Protocol Software SDRF File E-TABM-910.sdrf.txt
