Dissecting the serotonergic food signal stimulating sensory-mediated aversive behavior in C. elegans.

Nutritional state often modulates olfaction and in Caenorhabditis elegans food stimulates aversive responses mediated by the nociceptive ASH sensory neurons. In the present study, we have characterized the role of key serotonergic neurons that differentially modulate aversive behavior in response to...
