| Gaynor Spencer: Retinoid signaling during regeneration: What can Lymnaea growth cones tell us? |
| In the second talk on growth cones and regeneration Gaynor Spencer told us about experiments with acutely isolated axons from Lymnaea stagnalis in cell culture. The talk started out by reviewing the involvement of local ...[more] |

| Vincent Rehder: Roles for nitric oxide in neuronal development and regeneration |
| In the first talk of this day, Vincent Rehder talked about the role of nitric oxide (NO) in growth cone development in cultured Heliosoma neurons. We learned that giving NO into the culture medium increased filiopodial e...[more] |

| John Byrne: Neural and Molecular Mechanisms of Operant Reward Learning |
| The final talk of the meeting was by my former postdoc supervisor John Byrne. He was talking about my favorite topic, obviously, operant conditioning in Aplysia. The preparation is great because the network is really wel...[more] |

| Paul Katz: Nudibranchs, Neuromodulation, Neural circuits, & Neuromics |
| This talk was by organizer Paul Katz and covered a wide range of topics. He started with some past successes of gastropod neuroscience, e.g. electrophysiology and behavior in reduced preparations. Before, new individual ...[more] |

| Paul Benjamin: Long-term memory: translating electrical and molecular changes into modified behavioral output |
| This talk was all about long-term memory of classical conditioning in the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis. Paul Benjamin is the eminent researcher studying this topic. To study this, the scientists in this lab condition feed...[more] |

| Klaude Weiss: Dynamic reorganization of the feeding CPG of Aplysia |
| This talk, of course, was really close to my heart. Klaude Weiss' lab is also working on the feeding behavior of Aplysia, which is the behavior I use to operantly condition the animals. In this system, the radula (a tong...[more] |

| Thomas Abrams: Molecular Mechanisms of Attention in a Marine Gastropod |
| This talk was very exciting: it was about attention in Aplysia. Thomas Abrams is using behavioral habituation and homosynaptic depression in Aplysia as a model for this research. There are several molecular mechanisms inv...[more] |

| Leonard Kaczmarek: Regulation of prolonged changes in neuronal excitability |
| This talk by Leonard Kaczmarek was all about ion channels. The model Leonard works on are the bag cells neurons in Aplysia. These bag cell neurons regulate reproductive behaviors via multiple neuropeptides. These neurope...[more] |

| Rhanor Gillette: Behavioral hierarchies and decision-making |
| This was a talk very much to my liking! Rhanor Gillette showed us how different motivational states lead to animals doing completely opposite things to the same stimuli. Fantastic! The model system here was ...[more] |
