In model systems, manipulations and observations can be more rigorously controlled and screens of novel therapeutic agents can be more safely conducted.No single model system provides all of the possible advantages. At one end, mammalian models al

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In classical conditioning, an organism is given pairings of an unconditioned stimulus (US) with a neutral conditioned stimulus (CS). With repetition the organism learns and begins to respond to the conditioned stimulus in the same manner as the unconditioned stimulus. The ability to learn in planarian flatworms has been studied and the source of argument for over fifty years. One of the aims of this study was to determine if Dugesia japonica, a species of planaria, can learn. This study demonstrated that D. japonica initially show an ambient red light bias over ambient blue light, but are able to learn through pairing cathodal shock (US) with red light (CS) and in later testing show aversion to red light. Each planaria received 10 training sessions consisting of 12 pairings of red light/cathodal shock over the course of 5 days, with 2 training sessions per day. Using this training regimen, the learned behavior persists for up to 7 days. Octopamine (OA) is a neurotransmitter that is used as a neuromodulator of behavior and memory in some invertebrates. The role of OA in punishment pathways has recently been investigated in Apis mellifera and shown to play some role in inhibition of memory formation. Planaria have been used as a model organism for drug studies, both pharmacological agents as well as recreational drugs. The second major aim of these experiments was to determine the role OA plays in memory formation and retention in the useful planarian model organism. By exposing D. japonica to OA prior to each training session, the effects of excess OA could be examined. The planaria trained with excess OA did not form memory of the conditioning, as even after 7 days no aversion to red light was recorded. The ability to successfully train D. japonica, combined with the behavioral effects of OA, makes D. japonica a prime target for future memory/drug studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the second volume of Comparative Psychology by Warden, Warner, and Jenkins (1940), there has not been a comprehensive review of invertebrate learning capacities. Some high-quality reviews have appeared in various journals, texts, and symposia, but they have been, of necessity, incomplete and selective either in terms of the phyla covered or the phenomena which were reviewed. Although this lack has served as a stimulus for the present series, the primary justification is to be found in the resurgence of theoretical and empirical interests in learning capacities and mechanisms in simpler systems of widely different phylogenetic origin. Intensive research on the physiological basis of learning and memory clearly entails exploration of the correlations between levels of nervous system organization and be havioral plasticity. Furthermore, the presence of structural-functional differ entiation in ganglionated systems, the existence of giant, easily identifiable cells, and the reduced complexity of structure and behavior repertoires are among the advantages of the "simple systems" strategy which have caused many neuroscientists to abandon their cats, rats, and monkeys in favor of mollusks, leeches, planaria, crayfish, protozoa, and other invertebrate preparations. Behavioral research continues to reveal remarkable capacities in these simple organisms and encourages us to believe that the confluence of the invertebrate learning data with the more voluminous vertebrate litera ture will contribute substantially to the enrichment of all of the neurobe havioral sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planarians, a class of flatworm, are extraordinary: they possess the remarkable ability to regenerate lost body parts, including complete regeneration of the nervous system. If cut into pieces, each piece of the planarian can regenerate into a complete organism. They are also unique among invertebrates in that they display addiction-like behaviors to many drugs abused by humans. Because of these distinct neurological traits, the planarian is often used as an animal model in neurological research, being used most recently for developments in neuropharmacology. The First Brain is a discussion of how planarians have been used in neuropharmacology, and what role they have played in scientific developments that have a high impact on our culture. Planarians have been the animal models for research in drug addiction, antidepressant development, and various other topics in biology, neurobiology, and even zoology. Pagán uses these flatworms as a framework to explore the history of biological research. The book provides accessible background information on how biomedical research is impacted by evolution, and defines neurobiology and neuropharmacology in ways that are easy to understand. At the same time, Pagán provides enough detail for the book to useful for scientists working in various subsections of biology. The planarian has played a key role in the history biological, neuropharmacological, and zoological research, and has even made appearances in a few unexpected places in popular culture. Oné Pagán explores all these roles, and shows us why the planarian truly is one of the most extraordinary and influential organisms in scientific research today.
