Abstract excerpt
Animal behavior is critically dependent on the activity of neuropeptides. Reversals, one of the most conspicuous behaviors in Caenorhabditis elegans, plays an important role in determining the navigation strategy of the animal. Our experiments on hermaphrodite C. elegans show the involvement of a neuropeptide FLP-18 in modulating reversal length in these hermaphrodites. We show that FLP-18 controls the reversal...
