Abstract excerpt
Different interoceptive systems must be integrated to ensure that multiple homeostatic insults evoke appropriate behavioral and physiological responses. Little is known about how this is achieved. Using C. elegans, we dissect cross-modulation between systems that monitor temperature, O₂ and CO₂. CO₂ is less aversive to animals acclimated to 15°C than those grown at 22°C. This difference requires the AFD neurons,...
