Thermal avoidance in Caenorhabditis elegans: an approach to the study of nociception.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 31 Aug 1999

Wittenburg N, Baumeister R

Abstract excerpt

Upon perception of a noxious stimulus, an organism executes defense mechanisms, such as escape responses. The molecular basis of these mechanisms is poorly understood. In this paper we show that upon exposure to noxious temperature, Caenorhabditis elegans reacts by a withdrawal reflex. To analyze...
