The role of non-coding RNAs in the formation of long-term associative memory after single-trial learning in Lymnaea
Investigations of the molecular mechanisms of long-term associative memory have revealed
key roles for a number of highly evolutionarily conserved molecular pathways in a variety of …

A circuit mechanism linking past and future learning through shifts in perception
Long-term memory formation is energetically costly. Neural mechanisms that guide an
animal to identify fruitful associations therefore have important survival benefits. Here, we …

A central control circuit for encoding perceived food value
Hunger state can substantially alter the perceived value of a stimulus, even to the extent that
the same sensory cue can trigger antagonistic behaviors. How the nervous system uses …

Reversal of Age-Related Learning Deficiency by the Vertebrate PACAP and IGF-1 in a Novel Invertebrate Model of Aging: The Pond Snail (Lymnaea stagnalis)
With the increase of life span, nonpathological age-related memory decline is affecting an
increasing number of people. However, there is evidence that age-associated memory …
