Electrophysiological Organization of the Eye of Aplysia [PDF]
, 1969 The eye of Aplysia californica was studied by electrophysiological and histological methods. It has a central spheroidal lens which is surrounded by a retina composed of several thousand receptor cells which are replete with clear vesicles, pigmented ...

Reversal of age-related learning deficiency by the vertebrate PACAP and IGF-1 in a novel invertebrate model of aging: the pond snail (Lymnaea Stagnalis) [PDF]
, 2014 With the increase of life span, nonpathological age-related memory decline is affecting an increasing number of people. However, there is evidence that age-associated memory impairment only suspends, rather than irreversibly extinguishes, the intrinsic ...

Effect of cadmium on cytosine hydroxymethylation in gastropod hepatopancreas [PDF]
, 2017 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is an important, yet poorly understood epigenetic DNA modification, especially in invertebrates. Aberrant genome-wide 5hmC levels have been associated with cadmium (Cd) exposure in humans, but such information is lacking ...

Students' knowledge on the African giant mollusk Achatina fulica in a public school in the Recife metropolitan region [PDF]
Biotemas, 2007 The African giant mollusk Achatina fulica Bowdich, 1822 was introduced into Brazil in 1988 as a substitute for the European escargot Helix sp. This action did not induce the expected results and the gastropod has become an invasive species according to ...

Octopamine increases the excitability of neurons in the snail feeding system by modulation of inward sodium current but not outward potassium currents [PDF]
, 2005 Background: Although octopamine has long been known to have major roles as both transmitter and modulator in arthropods, it has only recently been shown to be functionally important in molluscs, playing a role as a neurotransmitter in the feeding network

Pressurized plankton observatory offers a new window into deep‐sea larval behavior
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract The High‐Pressure Plankton Observatory (HiPPO) is designed to quantify motions of zooplankton for behavioral study, including swimming and metabolic responses to environmental perturbations. It builds on prior chamber designs while filling gaps in capability for resolving orientation of small (< 1 mm) plankton, tracking their movements over ...

Evolution der Cephalic Sensory Organs innerhalb der Opisthobranchia [PDF]
, 2008 Das Ziel der vorliegenden Doktorarbeit war es, die Evolution der Kopfsinnesorgane der Opisthobranchia zu rekonstruieren. Bei den Opisthobranchia handelt es sich um eine äußerst diverse Gruppe überwiegend mariner Gastropoden innerhalb der Euthyneura.
