Abstract:
A considerable increase in the RNA amount in the course of learning was revealed in the Heix mollusk. The same chemicals were found to induce expression of the c-fos both in higher vertebrated and in the snail thus suggesting similar mechanisms of the regulation. The c-jun in the Helix CNS seems to take no part in the learning process.
