Abstract excerpt
Lateralization of neuronal functions plays a critical role in regulating behavioral flexibility, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are challenging to establish at a single-neuron level. We previously showed that attraction of Caenorhabditis elegans to a medium-chain alcohol switches to avoidance in a uniform background of a second attractive odorant. This context-dependent behavioral plasticity is mediated...
