Abstract excerpt
Differentiated neurons balance the need to maintain a stable identity with their flexible responses to dynamic environmental inputs. Here we characterize these opposing influences on gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans olfactory neurons. Using transcriptional reporters that are expressed differentially in two olfactory neurons, AWC(ON) and AWC(OFF), we identify mutations that affect the long-term...
