Genetic and cellular basis for acetylcholine inhibition of Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying behavior.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 3 Sept 2003

Bany I Amy, Dong Meng-Qiu, Koelle Michael R

Abstract excerpt

Egg-laying behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans is activated by signaling through the G-protein G(rho)q and inhibited by signaling through a second G-protein, G(rho)o. Activation of egg laying depends on the serotonergic hermaphrodite-specific neurons (HSNs), but the neurotransmitter(s) and cell(s) that signal to inhibit egg laying are not known. Mutants for G-protein signaling genes have well characterized defects...
