A dual mechanosensory and chemosensory neuron in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Mar 1993

Kaplan J M, Horvitz H R

Abstract excerpt

After light touch to its nose, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans halts forward locomotion and initiates backing. Here we show that three classes of neurons (ASH, FLP, and OLQ) sense touch to the nose and hence are required for this avoidance response. ASH, FLP, and OLQ have sensory endings that contain axonemal cilia. Mutant animals that have defective ciliated sensory endings as well as laser-operated animals...
