Odorant-specific adaptation pathways generate olfactory plasticity in C. elegans.
Neuron - 1 Apr 1995
Colbert H A, Bargmann C I
Abstract excerpt
Following prolonged exposure to an odorant, C. elegans exhibits a diminished response to the odorant for several hours. This olfactory adaptation is odorant selective; animals can adapt independently to different odorants sensed by a single pair of olfactory neurons, the AWC neurons. The mechanism of olfactory adaptation is genetically complex, with different genes required for adaptation to different odorants....
