Metabolic rate depression animals: transcriptional and translational controls

Article Abstract:

The two new areas of research in hypo metabolism; the role of differential gene expression in supplying protein products that adjust metabolism or protect cell functions for long-term survival, is reviewed and focused. The analysis draws primarily from current research on two animal models, hibernating mammals and anoxia-tolerant molluscs, with selected examples from multiple other sources.

Parallel processing in an identified neural circuit: the Aplysia californica gill-withdrawal response model system

Article Abstract:

The response of the gill of Aplysia californica Cooper to weak to moderate tactile simulation of the siphon, the gill-withdrawal response or GWR, has been explained. The examination suggests that they represent a 'wetware' neural network, architecturally similar to the neural network models of the widely used 'Perceptron' and/or 'Back propagation' type.
