Molecular tuning of a neural circuit that drives aggregation behaviour in C. elegans

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Modulation of network state is a ubiquitous feature of nervous systems. A major challenge in understanding the physiological flexibility of neural circuits is linking molecules that regulate behaviour to changes in the properties of individual neurons. Here, we use a defined neural circuit in C. elegans to frame this universal problem. By genetic dissection of the behavioural state that sustains escape of 21% O2,...
