Abstract excerpt
Long-term memory for habituation to tap in Caenorhabditis elegans depends on glr-1, a homolog of mammalian non-NMDA glutamate receptors; mutations in glr-1 blocked long-term memory formation. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) constructs were used to visualize glr-1 expression in the interneurons of the mechanosensory circuit and synaptobrevin in the tap sensory neurons of trained and untrained worms. Trained...
