'Different strokes for different folks': geographically isolated strains of Lymnaea stagnalis only respond to sympatric predators and have different memory forming capabilities.

29 Jun 2009 Gaining insight into how natural trait variation is manifest in populations shaped by differential environmental factors is crucial to understanding the evolution, ecology and sensory biology of natural populations. We have demonstrated that ... Read more...

In vitro effects of fipronil on neuronal excitability in mammalian and molluscan nervous systems.

30 May 2009 The effect of the insecticide fipronil on non-target organisms was studied on rat brain slices and identified giant neurons of the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis. This compound acts as an antagonist on GABA(A) receptors. Although fipronil has moderate ... Read more...

[Cellular basis of temperature dependence of the digestive activity of the molluscs Lymnaea stagnalis]

29 Apr 2009 Neuronal correlates of temperature dependence of alimentary behavior were studied in experiments on molluscs. It was found that a decrease of temperature led to suppression of food-procuring activity of the animals: to a decrease of the consumed ... Read more...
