Pathogen infection induces sickness behaviors through neuromodulators linked to stress and satiety in C. elegans

Abstract When animals are infected by a pathogen, peripheral sensors of infection signal to the brain to induce adaptive behavioral changes known as sickness behaviors. While the pathways that signal from the periphery to the brain have been intensively studied, how central circuits are reconfigured...
