The C. elegans male exercises directional control during mating through cholinergic regulation of sex-shared command interneurons.

BACKGROUND: Mating behaviors in simple invertebrate model organisms represent tractable paradigms for understanding the neural bases of sex-specific behaviors, decision-making and sensorimotor integration. However, there are few examples where such neural circuits have been defined at high resolutio...
