Transfer characteristics of a thermosensory synapse in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 7 Jun 2011

Narayan Anusha, Laurent Gilles, Sternberg Paul W

Abstract excerpt

Caenorhabditis elegans is a compact, attractive system for neural circuit analysis. An understanding of the functional dynamics of neural computation requires physiological analyses. We undertook the characterization of transfer at a central synapse in C. elegans by combining optical stimulation of targeted neurons with electrophysiological recordings. We show that the synapse between AFD and AIY, the first stage...
