A Self-Priming Neural Chain Links Sequential Behaviors Across Timescales

Evan S. Hill, Ion R. Popescu, Jean Wang, William N. Frost

The paper identifies a self-priming neural mechanism in Tritonia diomedea that links sequential behaviors through activity-dependent auto-modulation of neurons.

Age-related degradation of behavioral and network features of Aplysia escape locomotion

Viral K. Mistry, Daniel Martinez, William N. Frost

This study examines how aging affects escape locomotion in Aplysia californica, finding reduced gallop response and altered motor program dynamics in older animals.

Strategies used by two memories to share space in a common neural network

Viral K. Mistry, Evan S. Hill, William N. Frost

The paper investigates how two non-associative memories, sensitization and habituation, are encoded in the same neural network without destructive interference, finding distinct storage sites and mechanisms.

Neural division of labor: the gastropod Berghia defends against attack using its PNS to retaliate and its CNS to erect a defensive screen

Jeffrey W. Brown, Ondine H. Berg, Anastasiya Boutko, Cody Stoerck, Margaret A. Boersma, William N. Frost

The paper investigates how the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) coordinate non-reflexive defensive behaviors in the nudibranch Berghia stephanieae, showing distinct roles for each system in different stages of bristling.
