This article reviews the literature on learning and memory in the soil-dwelling nematode
Caenorhabditis elegans. Paradigms include nonassociative learning, associative learning, and …

Developmental delay is common in children deprived of normal sensory stimulation – for
example, in premature neonates and some institutionalized children. Touch has emerged as an …

Sensitization is a simple form of behavioral plasticity by which an initial stimulus, often
signaling danger, leads to increased responsiveness to subsequent stimuli. Cross-modal …

The lack of physiological recordings from Caenorhabditis elegans embryos stands in stark
contrast to the comprehensive anatomical and gene expression datasets already available. …

The nervous system is surrounded by an extracellular matrix composed of large glycoproteins,
including perlecan, collagens, and laminins. Glial cells in many organisms secrete laminin…

Habituation is a non-associative form of learning characterized by a decremented response
to repeated stimulation. It is typically framed as a process of selective attention, allowing …

Habituation is a highly conserved phenomenon that remains poorly understood at the molecular
level. Invertebrate model systems, like Caenorhabditis elegans, can be a powerful tool …

Despite having a small nervous system (302 neurons) and relatively short lifespan (14–21
days), the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has a substantial ability to change its behavior …

Habituation is a ubiquitous form of non-associative learning observed as a decrement in
responding to repeated stimulation that cannot be explained by sensory adaptation or motor …

The ability to learn and remember is critical for all animals to survive in the ever-changing
environment. As we age, many of our biological faculties decay and of these, decline in …
