About

Professor Ken Lukowiak is a faculty member at the University of Calgary, Canada. His research primarily focuses on the behavioral and transcriptional responses in pond snails, particularly in relation to taste discrimination, memory formation, and the effects of environmental stressors. His recent publications highlight a multidisciplinary approach to studying the Garcia effect and various cognitive processes in Lymnaea stagnalis.
