This review describes the advantages of adopting a molluscan complementary model, the
freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis, to study the neural basis of learning and memory in …

The aim of the work reviewed here is to relate the properties of individual neurons to network
organization and behavior using the feeding system of the gastropod mollusk, Lymnaea …

Interference-based forgetting occurs when new information acquired either before or after a
learning event attenuates memory expression (proactive and retroactive interference …

Memories that can be recalled several hours after learning may paradoxically become
inaccessible for brief periods after their formation. This raises major questions about the …

The neural circuitry comprising the central pattern generator (CPG) that drives feeding
behavior in the great pond snail (Lymnaea stagnalis (L., 1758)) has been worked out …

During goal-directed decision-making, animals must integrate information from the external
environment and their internal state to maximize resource localization while minimizing …

Insulin is well known as a hormone regulating glucose homeostasis across phyla. Although
there are insulin-independent mechanisms for glucose uptake in the mammalian brain …

Background The pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis can maintain a conditioned taste aversion
(CTA) as a long-term memory. Previous studies have shown that the inhibitory postsynaptic …

Applications of key technologies in biomedical research, such as qRT-PCR or LC-MS-based
proteomics, are generating large biological (-omics) datasets which are useful for the …

Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) can be classically conditioned in the pond snail Lymnaea
stagnalis and subsequently be consolidated into long-term memory (LTM). The neural trace …
