Follow-up Question

How humans learn and remember things is still one of the major unsolved
biological mysteries. Much of what is currently understood about learning and
memory and the biological basis of behaviour comes from the study of
invertebrates, including the gastropod molluscs. Describe the types of
experiments that have been performed on gastropods and the extent to which
each has increased our understanding of how animals learn.
