Molecular and sensory basis of a food related two-state behavior in C. elegans.

PloS one - 23 Oct 2009

Ben Arous Juliette, Laffont Sophie, Chatenay Didier

Abstract excerpt

Most animals display multiple behavioral states and control the time allocation to each of their activity phases depending on their environment. Here we develop a new quantitative method to analyze Caenorhabditis elegans behavioral states. We show that the dwelling and roaming two-state behavior of C. elegans is tightly controlled by the concentration of food in the environment of the animal. Sensory perception...
