Neuronal perception of the social environment intergenerationally controls germline development and generation time in C. elegans

2020-09-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> An old and controversial question in biology is whether information perceived by the nervous system of an animal can ‘cross the Weismann barrier’ to alter the phenotypes and fitness of their progeny. Here we show that such intergenerational transmission of sensory information occurs in the model organism, C. elegans , with a major effect on fitness. Specifically, that perception of social phero...
