Social insects discriminate colony members (nestmates/friends) from foreign workers (non-nestmates/foes) by colony-specific, multi-component colony odors. Traditionally, complex processing in the brain has been regarded as crucial for colony recognition. Odor informationisrepresentedasspatialpatternsofactivityandprocessedintheprimaryolfactoryneuropile,theantennallobe (AL)ofinsects,whichisanalogoustothevertebrateolfactorybulb.Correlativeevidenceindicatesthatthespatialactivity patternsreflectodor-quality,i.e.,howanodorisperceived.Forcolonyodors,alternatively,asensoryfilterintheperipheral nervous system was suggested, causing specific anosmia to nestmate colony odors.

Methodology/Principal Findings: Using ant dummies that mimic natural conditions, we presented colony odors and investigated their neuronal representation in the ant Camponotus floridanus. Nestmate and non-nestmate colony odors elicitedneuronalactivity:Intheperiphery,werecordedsensoryresponsesofolfactoryreceptorneurons(electroantenno- graphy), and in the brain, we measured colony odor specific spatial activity patterns in the AL (calcium imaging).
