[Conditioning and sensitization in the edible snail: the neurophysiological and metabolic characteristics].
Electrophysiological parameters and bound calcium (Ca(b)) level dynamics during sensitization development or conditioning of food aversion were studied in the command neurons of defense behaviour in the snail Helix lucorum. Responses evoked by a testing sensory stimulus were facilitated 50-60 min after the first sensitizing stimulation, while conditioned responses appeared 80-90 min after the first conditioning. It was the most essential electrophysiological difference between the long-term sensitization and conditioning. Analysis of the Ca(b)) dynamics in the neurons showed significant differences in calcium-dependent metabolism during the sensitization and conditioning, likely underlying the electrophysiological differences.
