Serotonergic signaling governs C. elegans sensory response to conflicting olfactory stimuli

Caroline S. Muirhead, Sophia Guerra, Bennett William Fox, Frank C. Schroeder, Jagan Srinivasan

The paper identifies a serotonergic neural circuit in C. elegans that suppresses aversive responses to conflicting olfactory stimuli by inhibiting aversive signals.

Neurexin drives C. elegans avoidance behavior independently of its post-synaptic binding partner Neuroligin

Caroline S. Muirhead, Kirthi C. Reddy, Sophia Guerra, Michael A. Rieger, Michael P. Hart, Jagan Srinivasan, Sreekanth H. Chalasani

The paper shows that the neurexin {gamma} isoform is required for glycerol avoidance in adult C. elegans, while other isoforms are needed in juveniles.
