well, at last my first dissertation-based paper is out in the Journal of Experimental Biology. It is, to our knowledge, the first time that learning and memory in Nautilus has been shown. Surprisingly memory expression was very similar to cuttlefish biphasic memory (temporally separate short- and long-term memory). Interesting (or so we like to think!) given the absence of vertical and frontal lobe complexes from nautilus brains.
The citation is:
Crook, R. and Basil, J. (2008). A biphasic memory curve in the chambered nautilus, Nautilus pompilius L. (Cephalopoda: Nautiloidea). J. Exp. Biol. 211, 1992-1998
I can provide a download link for anyone who is interested in the full text but doesn't have access to the journal.
Now, onto the next one.....
