Experiments with invertebrates support the view that intracellular events subserving the
consolidation phase of memory are preserved across evolution. Here, we investigate …

Investigations using invertebrate species have led to a considerable progress in our
understanding of the mechanisms underlying learning and memory. In this review we …

Consolidation of long-term memory requires the activation of several transduction pathways
that lead to post-translational modifications of synaptic proteins and to regulation of gene …

Gene expression is a key process for memory consolidation. Recently, the participation of
epigenetic mechanisms like histone acetylation was evidenced in long-term memories …

Abstract The semiterrestrial crab Neohelice (= Chasmagnathus) granulata (Dana 1851) is a
predominant species in brackish salt marshes, mangroves and estuaries. Its larvae are …

Due to their unique advantages for certain experimental approaches, crustaceans have long
been used in neurobiological research. In this chapter, we describe a number of important …

One of the essential requirements even in the most ancient life forms is to be able to
preserve body fluid medium. In line with such requirement, animals need to perform different …

Animals from all phyla are able to sense multimodal stimuli from their environment and
exhibit adaptive behavioral responses. Most animals also forage for food, court members of …

The high cGMP sensitivity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (type II)(PKAII) from
invertebrates led to the hypothesis that cGMP directly activates PKAII under physiological …

Two different isoforms of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) have been partially purified
from the posterior adductor muscle and the mantle tissue of the sea mussel Mytilus …
