Transcriptional changes in sensory neurons with age in Aplysia californica

Aplysia californica is used as a model species for nervous system function due to their relatively simple nervous system. Aged-related behavioral deficits have previously been linked to physiological changed in the sensory neurons innervating the behavior. The goal of this study was to use RNASeq to identify transcriptional changes that may be linked to reduced physiology and behavior in aged Aplysia.
