Honeybee memories: Another piece of the Alzheimer's puzzle?

Researchers show a molecular mechanism that regulates memory specificity over time, and point to how understanding memory in honeybees could help us combat degenerative brain diseases

Summary: 
The honeybee can form complex memories through processes much like those happening in human brains. This study shows that DNA methylation is one molecular mechanism that regulates memory specificity and re-learning, and as such, could control how experiences are integrated over a lifetime.
