Molluscan Neuroscience Homepage

** New Resource: Wayne Sossin's Guide to Aplysia Genomics.  Links are here, pdf of the powerpoint is here.**

Welcome to the Molluscan Neuroscience Gateway. This site is designed to help enhance the community of neuroscientists currently working on molluscan species. Registration is free and open to all scholars in the field, including students, post-docs, technicians, and faculty members. Once registered you will be able to:

  • Post job advertisements
  • Submit your recent publications for discussion by the community
  • Submit events
  • Collaboratively work on resources archiving important techniques and methods
  • Post messages to a discussion forum that is synced with the GastropodNet listserv.
  • Post your profile, including reseach interest and publications
  • Receive a weekly newsletter summarizing items of interest for the Molluscan Neuroscience Community.

 In addition to joining this site, you may also want to join the GastropodNet e-mail list to get announcements about Gastropod neuroscience.

This website is the result of a conference on Gastropod Neuroscience held in June 2007 at Friday Harbor Labs, which was supported in part by a grant from NSF.
