Abstract

Mollusks have been used extensively as experimental systems to study learning and memory, allowing the dissection of learning mechanisms at the network, cellular, and molecular levels. Here we focus on three mollusks that have made particular contributions: the marine mollusk Aplysia, the freshwater pond snail Lymnaea, and the marine cephalopod Octopus.
