Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that acetylcholine (ACh) is the most broadly used neurotransmitter and its usage relative to other neurotransmitters within the context of the entire connectome and within specific network motifs embedded in the connectome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity in Mating Behavior of Hermaphroditic and Male–Female Caenorhabditis Nematodes
TL;DR: It is suggested that sensory and motor execution of mating behavior have not significantly changed among males of different Caenorhabditis species; however, during the evolution of internal self-fertilization, hermaphrodites have lost the ability to respond to the male soporific-inducing factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integration of Male Mating and Feeding Behaviors in Caenorhabditis elegans
TL;DR: Observations demonstrate that non-genitalia cells involved in feeding also mediate male sexual behaviors and cause males to protract their spicules spontaneously in the absence of mating cues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral genetics of caenorhabditis elegans unc-103-encoded erg-like K(+) channel.

TL;DR: The Caenorhabditis elegans unc-103 gene encodes a potassium channel whose sequence is most similar to the ether-a-go-go related gene (erg) type of K+ channels, and supplying the proper UNC-103 isoform to the vulval muscles is sufficient to restore regulation to egg-laying behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular signaling involved in regulating feeding and other mitivated behaviors
TL;DR: Cellular and molecular mechanisms for how insulin, neuropeptide Y (NPY), and serotonin utilize common signaling pathways to integrate feeding and metabolic state with other motivated behaviors are discussed.
