Corazonin Neurons Contribute to Dimorphic Ethanol Sedation Sensitivity in Drosophila melanogaster
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 Exposure to alcohol has multiple effects on nervous system function, and organisms have evolved mechanisms to optimally respond to the presence of ethanol. Sex differences in ethanol-induced behaviors have been observed in several organisms, ranging from

Innate Immune Memory in Invertebrate Metazoans: A Critical Appraisal
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 The ability of developing immunological memory, a characteristic feature of adaptive immunity, is clearly present also in innate immune responses. In fact, it is well known that plants and invertebrate metazoans, which only have an innate immune system ...

Tricks of the puppet masters: morphological adaptations to the interaction with nervous system underlying host manipulation by rhizocephalan barnacle Polyascus polygeneus [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Rhizocephalan interaction with their decapod hosts is a superb example of host manipulation. These parasites are able to alter the host’s physiology and behavior.

Chemosynthetic symbionts of marine invertebrate animals are capable of nitrogen fixation
Nature Microbiology, 2016 Chemosynthetic symbioses are partnerships between invertebrate animals and chemosynthetic bacteria. The latter are the primary producers, providing most of the organic carbon needed for the animal host's nutrition.

Peptide Cotransmitters as Dynamic, Intrinsic Modulators of Network Activity
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2018 Neurons can contain both neuropeptides and “classic” small molecule transmitters. Much progress has been made in studies designed to determine the functional significance of this arrangement in experiments conducted in invertebrates and in the vertebrate

Improvements in operant memory of Aplysia are correlated with age and specific gene expression
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023 The transcription factor Aplysia CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (ApC/EBP) is expressed as an immediate early gene in the cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) mediated gene cascade, and it has essential functions in the synaptic consolidation of
