Abstract excerpt
The transition from well-fed to food-deprived conditions in C. elegans triggers a stereotypic exploration behaviour characterised by a temporal decrease in reorientation frequency. In this study we conduct a screen of neuropeptide mutants and identify several candidates involved in modulating this behaviour. Among these, the neuropeptide FLP-15 emerges as a key regulator. Our observations reveal that FLP-15...
