Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The neuronal mechanisms that encode specific stimulus features in order to elicit defined behavioral responses are poorly understood. C. elegans forms a memory of its cultivation temperature (T(c)) and exhibits distinct behaviors in different temperature ranges relative to T(c). In particular, C. elegans tracks isotherms only in a narrow temperature band near T(c). T(c) memory is in part encoded by...
