Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how the marine mollusk Aplysia makes decisions about feeding after feeling full, focusing on a specific neuron called B51.
- Researchers found that after Aplysia was satiated, B51 showed decreased excitability for at least 24 hours, which correlated with the cessation of biting behavior in response to food.
- The findings suggest that B51's changes in activity play a key role in the decision-making process related to feeding after satiation, highlighting its importance in the neural mechanisms of decision-making at the single-cell level.
