First record of Aplysia dactylomela Rang, 1828 (Mollusca: Gastropoda) in Libyan coastal waters [PDF]
The spotted sea hare Aplysia dactylomela Rang, 1828 is reported from four locations in Libyan coastal waters. The direct observation reported here resulted from a field survey of sea snails in the coastal environs of Tripoli, to the west of the country ...

Changes in Metabolism and Proteostasis Drive Aging Phenotype in Aplysia californica Sensory Neurons
Aging is associated with cognitive declines that originate in impairments of function in the neurons that make up the nervous system. The marine mollusk Aplysia californica (Aplysia) is a premier model for the nervous system uniquely suited to ...

Investigating the Potential Signaling Pathways That Regulate Activation of the Novel PKC Downstream of Serotonin in Aplysia. [PDF]
Activation of the novel PKC Apl II in sensory neurons by serotonin (5HT) underlies the ability of 5HT to reverse synaptic depression, but the pathway from 5HT to PKC Apl II activation remains unclear.

Characteristics of Aplysia eIF4G.
The major protein binding domains of Aplysia eIF4G (Ap4G) are well conserved. Diagram of eIF4G shows the placement and relative sizes of the domains known to bind other proteins involved in translation: polyA binding protein (PABP) (Aplysia 205-232 ...

Huntingtin is critical both pre- and postsynaptically for long-term learning-related synaptic plasticity in Aplysia. [PDF]
Patients with Huntington's disease exhibit memory and cognitive deficits many years before manifesting motor disturbances. Similarly, several studies have shown that deficits in long-term synaptic plasticity, a cellular basis of memory formation and ...

Ocean acidification affects acid–base physiology and behaviour in a model invertebrate, the California sea hare (Aplysia californica) [PDF]
Behavioural impairment following exposure to ocean acidification-relevant CO2 levels has been noted in a broad array of taxa. The underlying cause of these disruptions is thought to stem from alterations of ion gradients (HCO3−/Cl−) across neuronal cell ...
