Touch sensation in Caenorhabditis elegans.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Mar 1996

Herman R K

Abstract excerpt

The nematode C. elegans exhibits a variety of responses to touch. When specific sets of mechanosensory neurons are killed with a laser, specific touch responses are abolished. Many mutations that result in defective mechanosensation have been identified. Some of the mutations define genes that specify the fate of a set of mechanoreceptors called the touch cells, which mediate response to light touch to the body...
