Fertility reversibly modulates <i>C. elegans</i> behavior via gonad-nervous system signaling

2026-07-27

Abstract excerpt

While the external cues that generate behavioral responses have been extensively studied, behavioral changes in response to internal stimuli are much less understood. C. elegans hermaphrodites are self-fertile until they exhaust their supply of self-sperm, after which time they can only produce more progeny via mating with a male animal. Fertile hermaphrodites are less likely to be mated by males than sperm-exhau...
