The
research interests of this laboratory are the neuronal and molecular
mechanisms underlying learning and memory.
The marine mollusc Aplysia californica is being used as a model systems to study
mechanisms of implicit (nondeclarative) memory associated with simple
forms of learning such as habituation, sensitization, classical
or Pavlovian conditioning and operant conditioning.
As these studies
progress, we will be able to compare and contrast learning rules
and memory mechanisms among these different memory systems. Read
