Abstract excerpt
Electrophysiological methods were used to study the neurophysiological characteristics of mushroom body neurons in snow (laranja) mutant and wild-type bees. The snow (laranja) mutation, which produces a sharp reduction in the activity of the enzyme tryptophan oxygenase, thus creating a deficiency of all kynurenines in the body, modifies the bioelectrical properties of mushroom body neurons. The parameters most...
