Invertebrate Learning and Memory A comprehensive scientific reference exploring the mechanisms of learning and memory in invertebrate animals. Using model organisms such as insects, mollusks, and nematodes, the book examines how memories are formed, stored, and expressed at behavioral, cellular, neural, genetic, molecular, and computational levels. By integrating discoveries from diverse invertebrate systems, it provides valuable insights into the fundamental principles of cognition and neural plasticity that are often shared across animal species, including vertebrates. Key Features Comprehensive review of learning and memory in invertebrates Covers insects, mollusks, nematodes, and other model organisms Explores behavioral, neural, cellular, and molecular mechanisms Discusses memory formation, storage, and retrieval processes Covers genetics and neurobiology of learning Examines neural plasticity and cognitive behavior Integrates computational and experimental approaches Highlights connections between invertebrate and vertebrate neuroscience Contributions from leading international experts Valuable resource for neuroscientists, behavioral biologists, and graduate students
