Impressive. Memory, Matter and Mind [PDF]
This paper will set out a dualistic pattern, exemplified by (1) a neurobiological account of memory and (2) a short segment of the work of an Austrian avantgarde film-maker.

The Lymnaea Cardioexcitatory Peptide (LyCEP) Receptor: A G-Protein–Coupled Receptor for a Novel Member of the RFamide Neuropeptide Family [PDF]
A novel G-protein–coupled receptor (GRL106) resembling neuropeptide Y and tachykinin receptors was cloned from the molluscLymnaea stagnalis. Application of a peptide extract from the Lymnaea brain to Xenopus oocytes expressing GRL106 activated a calcium ...

Observations on the feeding regime of the sea hare aplysia, Donabella rumphi (Cuvier) and its captive spawning and larval rearing trials [PDF]
Aplysia occurs in a variety of color patterns that correlate with the seaweed upon which it is feeding and living. Aplysia which is a gastropod mollusc is one of the important candidates for marine aquarium.

Simulated weightlessness in fish and neurophysiological studies on memory storage [PDF]
Simulated weightlessness was used to study the different types of gravity responses in blind fish. It was found that a shift in the direction of low magnitude acceleration in weightlessness causes a rapid 180 deg turn in the blind fish, while a shift in ...

A rapamycin-sensitive signaling pathway contributes to long-term synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus [PDF]
Many forms of long-lasting behavioral and synaptic plasticity require the synthesis of new proteins. For example, long-term potentiation (LTIP) that endures for more than an hour requires both transcription and translation.

Model Checking Tap Withdrawal in C. Elegans
We present what we believe to be the first formal verification of a biologically realistic (nonlinear ODE) model of a neural circuit in a multicellular organism: Tap Withdrawal (TW) in \emph{C. Elegans}, the common roundworm.

Preliminary overview of exotic and invasive marine species in the Dutch Caribbean [PDF]
The marine exotic species of the Dutch Caribbean are less well-known than its terrestrial exotics. So far, only 27 known or suspected marine exotic species, some of which are also invasive are documented for one or more islands of the Dutch Caribbean ...

The role of immunity in comorbid pain and depression
The narrative review aims to shed light on the influence of inflammation in the comorbid chronic pain and major depressive disorder (MDD). This connection is known to be multifactorial, with a dynamic interaction between genetic and epigenetic factors ...

A Real-Time Novelty Detector for a Mobile Robot
Recognising new or unusual features of an environment is an ability which is potentially very useful to a robot. This paper demonstrates an algorithm which achieves this task by learning an internal representation of `normality' from sonar scans taken as
