Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how age affects eye regeneration in the snail Achatina fulica, finding that older snails regenerate fewer eye-bearing tentacles and take longer to recover.
- The regenerated eyes in snails older than two months remained smaller than normal even after six months, but some restoration of function was observed, including responses to light stimuli.
- In young snails, the motor responses to visual stimuli suggested that the connections between the eyes and the central nervous system were recovering effectively.
