Cocaine modulates locomotion behavior in C. elegans.

PloS one - 17 Jun 2009

Ward Alex, Walker Vyvyca J, Feng Zhaoyang, Xu X Z Shawn

Abstract excerpt

Cocaine, a potent addictive substance, is an inhibitor of monoamine transporters, including DAT (dopamine transporter), SERT (serotonin transporter) and NET (norepinephrine transporter). Cocaine administration induces complex behavioral alterations in mammals, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we tested the effect of cocaine on C. elegans behavior. We show for the first time that acute...
