Studies of learning and memory mechanisms in such animals as marine mollusks and insects have not led to better understandings of the mechanisms important for learning and memory in mammals because mammals are much more sophisticated in terms of memory and learning than are lesser evolved animals.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies of simpler animals like marine mollusks and insects have indeed contributed to our understanding of the fundamental principles of learning and memory, which are often conserved across species, including mammals. These studies have helped identify basic physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying learning and memory.
