Abstract excerpt
Olfactory discrimination is achieved through the action of olfactory neurons with diverse chemical specificities. In C. elegans, at least ten different types of chemosensory neurons respond to different chemicals. The odr-7 gene is required for the function of one pair of chemosensory neurons cal...
