This review describes the advantages of adopting a molluscan complementary model, the
freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis, to study the neural basis of learning and memory in …

The purpose of this review is to illustrate how a reductionistic, but sophisticated, approach
based on the use of a simple model system such as the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis (L …

Only a limited number of animal species lend themselves to becoming model organisms in
multiple biological disciplines: one of these is the great pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis …

The Lottia gigantea genome was prospected for the presence of genes coding
neuropeptides and neurohormones. Four genes code insulin-related peptides: two genes …

The freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis has a long research history, but only relatively
recently has it emerged as an attractive model organism to study molecular mechanisms in …

Neurotransmitters are endogenous metabolites that allow the signal transmission across
neuronal synapses. Their biological role is crucial for many physiological functions and their …

The pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis is among several mollusc species that have been well
investigated due to the simplicity of their nervous systems and large identifiable neurons …

Background Until recently, read lengths on the Solexa/Illumina system were too short to
reliably assemble transcriptomes without a reference sequence, especially for non-model …

This review article gathers the available information on the use of embryo-tests as high-
throughput tools for toxicity screening, hazard assessment and prioritization of new and …

Invertebrates are used extensively as model species to investigate neuro-endocrine
processes regulating behaviors, and many of these processes may be extrapolated to …
