The Expression of miRNAs Involved in Long-Term Memory Formation in the CNS of the Mollusk Helix lucorum [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Mollusks are unique animals with a relatively simple central nervous system (CNS) containing giant neurons with identified functions. With such simple CNS, mollusks yet display sufficiently complex behavior, thus ideal for various studies of behavioral ...

Identification of Immediate Early Genes in the Nervous System of SnailHelix lucorum [PDF]
eneuro, 2019 AbstractImmediate early genes (IEGs) are useful markers of neuronal activation and essential components of neuronal response. While studies of gastropods have provided many insights into the basic learning and memory mechanisms, the genome-wide assessment of IEGs has been mainly restricted to vertebrates.

Phenoloxidase is involved in the immune reaction of Helix lucorum to parasitic infestation by dicrocoeliid trematode [PDF]
Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2021 Phenoloxidases are known to play a role in the immune defences of arthropods and molluscs. In the invertebrates, phenoloxidases mediate three major physiologically important processes: sclerotization, wound healing, and defence reactions. Helix lucorum serve as the first intermediate host for the larval stages of dicrocoeliid trematodes which infects ...
