Interacting genes required for pharyngeal excitation by motor neuron MC in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Genetics - 1 Dec 1995

Raizen D M, Lee R Y, Avery L

Abstract excerpt

We studied the control of pharyngeal excitation in Caenorhabditis elegans. By laser ablating subsets of the pharyngeal nervous system, we found that the MC neuron type is necessary and probably sufficient for rapid pharyngeal pumping. Electropharyngeograms showed that MC transmits excitatory postsynaptic potentials, suggesting that MC acts as a neurogenic pacemaker for pharyngeal pumping. Mutations in genes...
