Lifelong neurogenesis in the cerebral ganglion of the Chinese mud snail Cipangopaludina chinensis

摘要

IntroductionA small group of Gastropods possessing giant neurons have long been used to study a wide variety of fundamental neurophysiological phenomena. However, the majority of gastropods do not have large neurons but instead have large numbers of small neurons and remain largely unstudied. We explored neuron size and rate of increase in neuron numbers in the Chinese mud snail, Cipangopaludina chinensis.
