The AFD sensory neurons encode multiple functions underlying thermotactic behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 12 Jul 2006

Clark Damon A, Biron David, Sengupta Piali, Samuel Aravinthan D T

Abstract excerpt

The thermotactic behaviors of Caenorhabditis elegans indicate that its thermosensory system exhibits exquisite temperature sensitivity, long-term plasticity, and the ability to transform thermosensory input into different patterns of motor output. Here, we study the physiological role of the AFD...
