Corbicula fluminea is highly sensitive to ammonia, and its response mechanism to ammonia
stress is unclear. In this study, C. fluminea was exposed to different levels of ammonia …

Colonial tunicates are marine organisms that possess multiple brains simultaneously during
their colonial phase. While the cyclical processes of neurogenesis and neurodegeneration …

Two recent studies documented the genome of a novel, extremely large (35.9 kb), nidovirus
in RNA sequence databases from the marine neural model Aplysia californica. The goal of …

The internal defense system of mollusks represents an efficient protection against
pathogens and parasites, involving several biological immune processes, such as …

The ability to learn progressively declines with age. Neural hyperactivity has been
implicated in impairing cognitive plasticity with age, but the molecular mechanisms remain …

Animal models have been a crucial tool in neuroscience research for decades, providing
insights into the biomedical and evolutionary mechanisms of the nervous system, disease …

Abstract Background The pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis (L. stagnalis), has served as a
valuable model organism for neurobiology studies due to its simple and easily accessible …

The molecular mechanisms underlying age‐related declines in learning and long‐term
memory are still not fully understood. To address this gap, our study focused on investigating …

Due to their distinctive anatomical characteristics, land slugs are appealing research
subjects from a variety of angles, including stem cell biology, regeneration, embryonic …

Although Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the United
States, development of therapeutics has proven difficult. Invertebrate alternatives to current …
