Electrical activity and behavior in the pharynx of Caenorhabditis elegans.
Neuron - 1 Mar 1994
Raizen D M, Avery L
Abstract excerpt
The pharynx of C. elegans, a model system for neural networks and for membrane excitability, has been chiefly studied by observing its behavior in normal worms, in mutant worms, and in worms lacking pharyngeal neurons. To complement this behavioral approach, we devised a method for recording curr...
