Monosynaptic connections made by the sensory neurons of the gill- and siphon-withdrawal reflex in Aplysia participate in the storage of long-term memory for sensitization.

How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Dopaminergic neurons write and update memories with cell-type-specific rules (2016, background): “Longer and repetitive training has been shown to induce stronger and more persistent memory across animal phyla (Frost et al., 1985; Tully et al., 1994).”
The Molecular Biology of Memory Storage: A Dialogue Between Genes and Synapses (2001, background): “Indeed, the same synaptic connection can store both short- and long-term memory [7, 23, 33, 43, 94, 98].”
Rapid Consolidation to a radish and Protein Synthesis-Dependent Long-Term Memory after Single-Session Appetitive Olfactory Conditioning in Drosophila (2008, background): “Studies in humans and several animal models have demonstrated that multiple training trials with rest intervals (spaced training) is most effective in producing long-term memory (LTM) (Ebbinghaus, 1885; Carew et al., 1972; Frost et al., 1985; Tully et al., 1994).”
How can memories last for days, years, or a lifetime? Proposed mechanisms for maintaining synaptic potentiation and memory (2019, result): “LTF is similar to L-LTP in that LTF correlates with LTS, a form of LTM (Frost et al. 1985; Cleary et al. 1998).”
Three Dopamine Pathways Induce Aversive Odor Memories with Different Stability (2012, unknown): “Mechanisms underlying memory can be as simple as a modulation of monosynaptic connection in the gill withdraw reflex of Aplysia [1].”
