4.1 – Overview of Chemical Biology

Learning Objectives

  1. Understand key points of the case study:
    1. Dopamine plays a role in learning and memory formation in bees and humans
    2. HVA (homovanillyl alcohol) acts to inhibit dopamine production in bee neural cells and suppresses negative memories, impacting on aversion learning.
    3. A chemical assay serves as a surrogate for a complex biological phenomenon such as the inhibition of dopamine production in bee neural cells
