There is an interesting article in this week's New Scientist
(www.newscientist.com) of work done on the brains of fruit flies, but also with references to
honeybees.  The headline of the article is ' It may be no bigger than a poppy
seed, but some neuroscientists think the fruit fly's brain contains the
rudiments of consciousness.  The author peers through this unlikely window on the
human mind.'

It is worth a read if you aren't an anti-vivisectionist.
