Brain, behaviour and learning

Sea Hares, in particular Aplysia californica and more recently Pleurobranchaea californica have become important laboratory animals in the study of learning and behaviour. They are particu;arly valuable because they have a relatively simple nervous system and 'brain' with extremely large nerve cells which can be individually mapped. I have placed general and specific queries about these topics and this research here.
