Localization and functional characterization of a novel adipokinetic hormone in the mollusk, Aplysia californica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Increasing evidence suggests that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), corazonin, adipokinetic hormone (AKH), and red pigment-concentrating hormone all share common ancestry to form a GnRH superfamily.

In search of the Aplysia immunome: an in silico study [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 The immune repertoires of mollusks beyond commercially important organisms such as the pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas or vectors for human pathogens like the bloodfluke planorb Biomphalaria glabrata are understudied.

Exogenous expression of an allatotropin-related peptide receptor increased the membrane excitability in Aplysia neurons [PDF]
Molecular Brain, 2022 Neuropeptides act mostly on a class of G-protein coupled receptors, and play a fundamental role in the functions of neural circuits underlying behaviors. However, physiological functions of some neuropeptide receptors are poorly understood. Here, we used

Use of an invertebrate animal model (Aplysia californica) to develop novel neural interfaces for neuromodulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 New tools for monitoring and manipulating neural activity have been developed with steadily improving functionality, specificity, and reliability, which are critical both for mapping neural circuits and treating neurological diseases. This review focuses

Learning processes in elementary nervous systems§ [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2020 Invertebrate animal models show simple behaviors supported by neural circuits easily accessible for experimentation and yet complex enough to provide necessary information on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern the vertebrate nervous system'
