Insulin signaling plays a dual role in Caenorhabditis elegans memory acquisition and memory retrieval.

Abstract excerpt

Insulin signaling plays a prominent role in regulation of dauer formation and longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we show that insulin signaling also is required in benzaldehyde-starvation associative plasticity, in which worms pre-exposed to the odor attractant benzaldehyde in the absence of food subsequently demonstrate a conditioned aversion response toward the odorant. Animals with mutations in...
