Abstract
In the honeybee, we discovered (1) the presence of the AMPA-like receptors containing the GluR2 subunit in neurons (Kenyon cells) of the mushroom bodies responsible for olfactory learning, (2) the involvement of the GluR2 subunit in the short-term memory formation during a single training session; (3) a similarity to mammals in the regulation of functional activity of the AMPA-like receptor GluR2 subunit.
