          Puzzle-Solving Behavior Spreads Through Bumblebee Colonies

          Bumblebees are able to learn to solve puzzles by watching more experienced bees complete a task. This new behavioral preference then spreads throughout the entire colony. The bees that learned from others became more adept and began to prefer the learned solution over alternatives.

          Early Deprivation Continues to Affect Brain Development Well Into Adolescence

          Children removed from institutional care and placed into well-supported foster care by the age of three had changes in brain areas that support high-order problem-solving by age 16. In those who were placed in supportive foster care, brain areas associated with emotional processing, language, and executive function developed typically. However, this pattern was altered in those deprived of family-based care.
