Functional mapping of the molluscan brain guided by synchrotron X-ray tomography - PubMed

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 lacking, total neuron numbers are unknown, and organizational …

8. Hoe deze slak het onderwijs verandert - Joris Koene (De Schatkist)

Episode Β· Studio VU Β· Joris Koene: de man die met een slak twee wetenschapsprijzen in de wacht sleepte. Joris won samen met zijn team zowel de Faculty of Science Innovation Prize als de VU Amsterdam Educational Innovation Award. Met behulp van video’s en 3D-modellen zorgt Joris ervoor dat leerlingen op allerlei manieren kunnen leren. Wat hij met zijn prijzengeld van plan is? Daar kom je achter in deze aflevering. En als je de sterren van de show wil zien, check dan de video van de slak hier: https://vimeo.com/showcase/slab-lymnaea

SHOW2023 - short for Simultaneously Hermaphroditic Organisms Workshop - was hybrid last week @vuamsterdam (co-organised with @YumiNakadera) and contained great presentations, useful discussion sessions, a wonderful boat dinner (Smidtje), and a lovely, ethically produced 100% natural cotton bag for participants. Next year: SHOW2024, Rennes (France) @steve_ramm

My university has such a stunning history of #Lymnaea study 🐌✨

Mating observation day!!! πŸŒπŸ’–πŸŒ

#snail #Lymnaea

#mating #observation day today! You can see the duct within prepetium (penis carryon organ) is waving and sending #ejaculate into the partner 🐌➑️🐌

#Lymnaea stagnalis #insemination

Talk highlights from #MolluscanForum at NHM, London today: @YumiNakadera on genetics of a new colour variant in pond 🐌, Lymnaea stagnalis, and @ChrisDrerup on impact (or not) of caustic flicker in cuttlefish predatory behaviour.
