Plant-derived flavonoids have been demonstrated to enhance cognitive function in various organisms, including invertebrates. In the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis, epicatechin facilitates memory formation through conditioned taste aversion (CTA) training. These snails were categorized into two groups: "good learner" and "poor learner", based on their feeding behaviour 24hours after CTA training. The "good learner" snails showed at least a 40% reduction in feeding behaviour compared to the pre-test levels, while the others were categorized as "poor learner". This study first investigated the effe
