Epicatechin (EC) is a flavanol easily obtained through the diet and is present in tea, cocoa,
vegetables, fruits, and cereals. Recent studies have shown that EC protects human health …

There has been a significant increase in the incidence of multiple neurodegenerative and
terminal diseases in the human population with life expectancy increasing in the current …

Background: The therapeutic strategies to manage neurodegenerative diseases remain
limited and it is necessary to discover new agents for their prevention and control. Oxidative …

Environmentally relevant stressors alter the memory-forming process in Lymnaea following
operant conditioning of aerial respiration. One such stressor is heat. Previously, we found …

Background Green tea is produced from the tea plant Camellia sinensis without
fermentation, and contains characteristic constituents, which are associated with health …

A major extrinsic factor influencing memory and neuro-cognitive performances across taxa is
diet. Studies from vertebrates have shown the effects of a flavonoid rich diet on cognitive …

Epicatechin (EpiC) enhances long-term memory (LTM) formation in the pond snail Lymnaea
stagnalis. Here we investigated at the level of a single neuron, RPeD1, which is a necessary …

Epicatechin (EC) is a flavanol that has shown numerous biological effects such as: decrease
risk of cardiovascular dysfunction, metabolism regulation, skeletal muscle (SkM) …

A lab bred W-strain of Lymnaea stagnalis exhibits configural learning (CL). CL is a form of
higher order associative learning wherein when snails experience two contrasting stimuli …

ABSTRACT A flavonoid,(-)-epicatechi (Epi), enhances long-term memory (LTM) formation in
Lymnaea and reverses memory obstruction caused by stress. Many foods contain …
