Nov. 2008 - The above picture of the
California Sea Hare was published in
this months edition of a psychology magazine
called "Mente & Cérebro"
(“Mind and Brain”) in Brazil, part of Scientific American Brazils
group. The picture was
taken at Divers Cove in Laguna Beach, CA
by Jonathan Klenk.
The caption put next to the photo (translated from
Portuguese) reads,
"Experience with the California Sea Hare - Aplysia Californica
-
made the study on the formation of memory possible."
The first paragraph of the associated
article (translated from Portuguese) reads,
"Eric Richard Kandel began his research in neurobiology investigating the
California Sea Hare - the Aplysia Californica
- and finished innovating the studies
of neurology and the formation of memory. Studying this mollusk, that possesses
just a few thousand large, easily-identified
neurons, the scientist identified the
genes and the proteins that make memory possible in the neural cells.
The mechanisms that it unmasked has opened the doors for innumerable
studies
on the
human mind, for which he received the Nobel Prize for Medicine of 2000."

The camera used for the three above was a Sea-and-Sea DX-3000 equiped
with a YS-90 Auto Strobe. I now use the Sea-and-Sea
DX-8000 8-Megapixel camera, still with the
YS-90 Auto Strobe.
