FIGURE 6.10 How Neurons Change as Aplysia Forms a New Memory When Aplysia is repeatedly squirted with water, and each squirt is followed by a mild shock to its tail, the snail learns to withdraw its gill flap if squirted with the water alone. Conditioning leads to structural and functional changes in the three neurons involved in the memory circuit.
