When pond snails were exposed to both a pleasant taste and a predator smell at the same time, only some learned to associate the taste with danger. Why do some animals learn while others do not?

Decoding 'Wntch': the intertwined Wnt and Notch pathways in development and disease - PubMed Multicellularity emerges from the ability of cells to undergo functional differentiation. One of the key mechanisms that enables this coordination is cellular signalling-a series of molecular interactions within or between cells that induce changes in cell behaviour or gene expression. As the body p …
