Mechanisms of sensory processing and learning in the gastropods

Central nervous systems of gastropods are useful to study the mechanisms of sensory processings and their related learning. Although the gastropods present their complicated behavior, their many neurons have already been identified and their neural networks are analyzed well. Here by reviewing the m...

Summary:Central nervous systems of gastropods are useful to study the mechanisms of sensory processings and their related learning. Although the gastropods present their complicated behavior, their many neurons have already been identified and their neural networks are analyzed well. Here by reviewing the most advanced results in the cell physiology of olfaction, gustation, vision and their learning, we introduce a promising way for brain study in the future biophysics.
