Functional mapping of the molluscan brain guided by synchrotron X-ray tomography Open
Molluscan brains are composed of morphologically consistent and functionally interrogable neurons, offering rich opportunities for understanding how neural circuits drive behavior. Nonetheless, detailed component-level CNS maps are often l…

A circuit mechanism linking past and future learning through shifts in perception Open
Long-term memory formation is energetically costly. Neural mechanisms that guide an animal to identify fruitful associations therefore have important survival benefits. Here, we elucidate a circuit mechanism in Lymnaea , which enables past…

Wide horizons and blurred boundaries: comparative perspectives on adult and lifelong learning Open
This paper reflects upon Peter Jarvis's contribution to comparative scholarship and the linked fields of comparative education and comparative adult education. Both have their own historical developments, literatures, issues and concerns; …

Commonwealth Small States, Education and Environmental Uncertainty: Learning from the Sharp End Open
This paper examines the Commonwealth’s inclusive role in engaging with the distinctive challenges of education provision in small states, an agenda that is often neglected elsewhere. We examine the origins of Commonwealth work on education…

A central control circuit for encoding perceived food value Open
Hunger state can substantially alter the perceived value of a stimulus, even to the extent that the same sensory cue can trigger antagonistic behaviors. How the nervous system uses such graded perceptual shifts to select between opposed mo…

Structure‐dependent effects of amyloid‐β on long‐term memory in <i>Lymnaea stagnalis</i> Open
Amyloid‐β (Aβ) peptides are implicated in the causation of memory loss, neuronal impairment, and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. Our recent work revealed that Aβ 1–42 and Aβ 25–35 inhibit long‐term memory ( LTM ) recall in Lymnae…
