Mate searching in Caenorhabditis elegans: a genetic model for sex drive in a simple invertebrate.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 25 Aug 2004

Abstract excerpt

Much of animal behavior is regulated to accomplish goals necessary for survival and reproduction. Little is known about the underlying motivational or drive states that are postulated to mediate such goal-directed behaviors. Here, we describe a mate-searching behavior of the Caenorhabditis elegans male that resembles the motivated behaviors of vertebrates. Adult C. elegans males, if isolated from mating partners,...
