Modulatory communication signal performance is associated with a distinct neurogenomic state in honey bees.

Studies of animal communication systems have revealed that the perception of a salient signal can cause large-scale changes in brain gene expression, but little is known about how communication affects the neurogenomic state of the sender. We explored this issue by studying honey bees that produce a...
