The neural population of the Aplysia's pedal ganglion are a low-dimensional spiral attractor, and the parameters of the attractor directly define the properties of the Aplysia's escape locomotion behaviour.

Storage of long-term memory in Aplysia does not require stable synapses.

The brain inhibits the formation of new memories just after waking to safeguard the ongoing stabilization of existing memories during sleep.

Behavioral and synaptic investigations of long-term memory in Aplysia reveal differing roles for DNA methylation, protein synthesis during training and protein synthesis shortly after training with respect to memory consolidation and maintenance.

An atypical neuronal pacemaker mechanism triggers feeding motor pattern in Aplysia..

Allosteric modulation of BK channels, vital for the physiology of nerve, muscle and endocrine cells, is determined by direct coupling between gating ring RCK1 domains and the voltage sensor function.

The mammalian CPEB3 self-cleaving ribozyme modulates expression of the CPEB3 mRNA and protein, altering translation of plasticity-related proteins and hippocampus-dependent memory.

Identification and functional characterization of C. elegans luqin-like arginine-tyrosine-NH2 (RYamide) peptides reveal their critical role in feeding-related processes.

The great pond snail is a multipurpose model organism and a contemporary choice for addressing a wide range of biological questions, problems and phenomena in the laboratory and the field.

A number of microbial eukaryotes have adapted to low oxygen conditions by acquiring a gene that allows their mitochondrial electron transport chain to continue to function when oxygen is scarce.
