Behavioral and Mechanistic Bases of Long-Term Habituation in the Crab Chasmagnathus

  • Chapter
Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Neuronal Plasticity

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 446))

Abstract

The exact relationship between findings at the cellular level and the behavioral phenomenon of learning remain complex and obscure in mammals. With invertebrate preparations, however, relationships between cellular and behavioral phenomena are much more readily clarified (Krasne and Glanzman, 1995).
