Aplysia - PMC What is Aplysia A genus of gastropod molluscs well-known as ‘model organisms’ in neuroscience, particularly work on the cellular biology of learning and memory (for his contributions Eric Kandel shared the 2000 Nobel prize for Physiology or Medicine) Their latin name comes from L’Aplysia — “that which one cannot wash”

Sea hare | Marine, Herbivorous, Mollusk | Britannica sea hare, any marine gastropod of the family Aplysiidae (subclass Opisthobranchia, phylum Mollusca) that is characterized by a shell reduced to a flat plate, prominent tentacles (resembling rabbit ears), and a smooth or warty body Sea hares eat large seaweeds, and all are simultaneous hermaphrodites

NIH HUB - Aplysia - AGGRC Aplysia are opisthobranch gastropod molluscs, related to groups such as octopuses, clams, oysters, snails, and mussels; though they are arguably more charismatic compared to their uni- and bi-valved relatives These molluscs have wing-like parapodium, moustache-like oral tentacles, and rabbit ear-like rhinophores (Image 1)
