Multiple types of control by identified interneurons in a sensory-activated rhythmic motor pattern. [PDF]
Modulatory interneurons that can drive central pattern generators (CPGs) are considered as good candidates for decision-making roles in rhythmic behaviors.

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 ...

Enhancement of synchronization in a hybrid neural circuit by spike timing dependent plasticity [PDF]
Synchronization of neural activity is fundamental for many functions of the brain. We demonstrate that spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) enhances synchronization (entrainment) in a hybrid circuit composed of a spike generator, a dynamic clamp ...

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.

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 ...

In the Mediterranean, experiments and technical measures aimed at improving the selectivity of bottom trawl nets mostly concern modifications to the codend. Grids have been tested in various areas, but have not been adopted for management purposes so far.

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 ...

A Neural Model of Biased Oscillations in Aplysia Head-Waving Behavior [PDF]
A long-term bias in the exploratory head-waving behavior of Aplysia can be induced using bright lights as an aversive stimulus: coupling onset of the lights with head movements to one side results in a bias away from that side (Cook & Carew, 1986).
