Hot and cold exposure triggers distinct transcriptional and behavioral responses in laboratory-inbred pond snails by Veronica Rivi, Anuradha Batabyal, Cristina Benatti, Fabio Tascedda, Johanna Maria Catharina Blom, Ken Lukowiak

“…We found that while short-term (1 ​h) cold exposure transiently upregulated the expression levels of HSP70 and HSP40 in the snail's central ring ganglia, prolonged cold exposure (24 ​h) resulted in a significant downregulation of LymMIPII and an upregulation of LymMIPR. These data suggest, albeit at the transcriptional level, the existence of a negative feedback loop necessary for sustaining cellular functions when metabolic demands might shift towards conserving energy during prolonged cold exposure. …”
