Modulation of swimming in the gastropod Melibe leonina by nitric oxide [PDF]
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous intercellular messenger produced by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. It has been implicated as a neuromodulator in several groups of animals, including gastropods, crustaceans and mammals.

Abstract Topographic highlands commonly develop along convergent plate boundaries through long‐term processes such as subduction and continental collision. However, the pre‐Cenozoic mountain‐building history of deep‐time orogenic systems in northeastern Pangaea remains poorly constrained due to later tectonic overprinting and denudation.

A gas-liquid solid phase peptide and protein sequenator [PDF]
A new miniaturized protein and peptide sequenator has been constructed which uses gas phase reagents at the coupling and cleavage steps of the Edman degradation. The sample is embedded in a matrix of Polybrene dried onto a porous glass fiber disc located

On the Influence of Mineral Dust on Glacial Albedo at Nevado Huascarán (Cordillera Blanca, Peru)
Abstract In addition to warming and hydrological changes, glacier retreat is influenced by mineral dust and other light absorbing impurities. However, very little is known about the presence of mineral dust in the tropical Andes, making it difficult to model the radiative impact of dust on glacial surfaces.

Trichoplax, the simplest known animal, contains an estrogen-related receptor: Implications for the evolution of vertebrate and invertebrate estrogen receptors [PDF]
Although, as their names imply, vertebrate and invertebrate estrogen receptors [ERs] and estrogen-related receptors [ERRs] are related transcription factors, their evolutionary relationships to each other are not fully understood.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Invertebrates show great diversity in their responses to neural damage. Numerous invertebrate phyla, including gastropods, can replace all or a portion of their nervous systems.
