Nematode behavior: the taste of success, the smell of danger!

Current biology : CB - 7 Feb 2006

Rankin Catharine H

Abstract excerpt

Through experience, the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans learns to distinguish high quality bacteria--food--from low quality or toxic bacteria. Increased release of the neurotransmitter serotonin onto identified interneurons determines whether C. elegans chooses to feed or leave.
