Cellular and molecular footprint of aging in a defined neuronal network encoding associative memory
…such model is the great pond snail (Lymnaea stagnalis), which has been used extensively to study cognitive aging.We made the neuronal transcriptome assembly of Lymnaea and identified several evolutionarily conserved homolog sequences to genes involved in aging, age-related memory impairment, and neurodegenerative diseases of vertebrates including humans. Using young (3-4
