Sensory Neurons Arouse C. elegans Locomotion via Both Glutamate and Neuropeptide Release.
C. elegans undergoes periods of behavioral quiescence during larval molts (termed lethargus) and as adults. Little is known about the circuit mechanisms that establish these quiescent states. Lethargus and adult locomotion quiescence is dramatically reduced in mutants lacking the neuropeptide recept...
