Serotonin-deficient mutants and male mating behavior in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 1 Dec 1993

Loer C M, Kenyon C J

Abstract excerpt

Defining a behavior that requires the function of specific neurons in the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans can allow one to screen for mutations that disrupt the specification or function of those neurons. We identified serotonin-immunoreactive neurons required for tail curling or "turning" behavior exhibited by C. elegans males during mating. Males mutant in three different genes that reduce serotonin...
