About the Cover
Cover
The "virtual" symposium in this issue, composed of 13 research articles and reviews, focuses on our present knowledge of the biological bases of learning and memory within the context of relatively simple nervous systems. The rich variety of topics in these papers covers a range of marine models with learning capabilities, all of which are featured on the cover: Tritonia, Lymnea, Sepia, Octopus, Chasmagnathus, Loligo, Aplysia, and Hermissenda.
