Genetic and pharmacological analysis of neurotransmitters controlling egg laying in C. elegans.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 1 Oct 1995

Weinshenker D, Garriga G, Thomas J H

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated the neurotransmitters used to control egg-laying in C. elegans. Previous studies suggested that 5-HT released by the HSN motor neurons stimulates egg laying, and that tricyclic antidepressants potentiate egg laying by blocking reuptake of 5-HT by the HSN neurons. We report studies of the wild type and a mutant that lacks detectable 5-HT that suggest 5-HT is not required for egg-laying....
