Long-term plasticity of intrinsic excitability: learning rules and mechanisms. (2003, background): “Later, J. Byrne and colleagues (Scholz and Byrne 1987) showed that several forms of learning in Aplysia (sensitization and operant conditioning) are associated with persistent changes in neuronal excitability (Cleary et al. 1998; Brembs et al. 2002).”
Evolutionary Advantages of Neuromodulated Plasticity in Dynamic, Reward-based Scenarios (2008, background): “Studies on mollusks like the Aplysia californica (Roberts and Glanzman, 2003) have shown neuromodulation to regulate classical conditioning (Carew et al., 1981; Sun and Schacher, 1998), operant conditioning (Brembs et al., 2002) and wiring in developmental processes (Marcus and Carew, 1998).”
Multiple Systems for Value Learning (2014, background): “Some even argue that instrumental learning mechanisms are present in inverterbrates such as drosophila or aplysia (Brembs et al., 2002; Cook and Carew, 1986), although the extent to which Pavlovian accounts for the putative instrumental behavior have been successfully ruled out in some of the…”
