Urotensin II in invertebrates: from structure to function in Aplysia californica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Neuropeptides are ancient signaling molecules that are involved in many aspects of organism homeostasis and function. Urotensin II (UII), a peptide with a range of hormonal functions, previously has been reported exclusively in vertebrates.

A Single Central Pattern Generator for the Control of a Locomotor Rolling Wave in Mollusc Aplysia
Research, 2023 Locomotion in mollusc Aplysia is implemented by a pedal rolling wave, a type of axial locomotion. Well-studied examples of axial locomotion (pedal waves in Drosophila larvae and body waves in leech, lamprey, and fish) are generated in a segmented nervous

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.Optical neuromodulation with IR light allows stimulation of the PNS without the need for physical contact with the target nerve or without requiring any genetic modification. The clinical translation of this technique will pave the way to the development of neural interfaces for restoring sensory feedback in individuals with limb amputation.

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Targeted enrichment of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) is a powerful tool for resolving phylogeny in groups with limited morphological or molecular data. Here, we use UCEs to reconstruct the first comprehensive phylogeny of the chiton superfamily Cryptoplacoidea, including museum material up to 133 years old.

Aging in Sensory and Motor Neurons Results in Learning Failure in Aplysia californica.
PLoS ONE, 2015 The physiological and molecular mechanisms of age-related memory loss are complicated by the complexity of vertebrate nervous systems. This study takes advantage of a simple neural model to investigate nervous system aging, focusing on changes in ...

Aging of Glutamatergic Sensory Neurons in Aplysia californica [PDF]
, 2021 Brain aging is typified by cognitive impairment. Studying the origin of this impairment is difficult due to the complexity of mammalian brains, necessitating the use of simpler models.

Characterization of the role of eIF4G in stimulating cap- and IRES-dependent translation in aplysia neurons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The rate-limiting step(s) of translation in the nervous system have not been clearly identified. We have been examining this question in the cell body of the Aplysia sensory neuron, where translational regulation is important for the regulation of ...
