This study identifies neuromodulatory systems involved in sickness behaviors in C. elegans infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing distinct roles of neuropeptides in regulating feeding, quiescence, and survival.

The paper investigates how serotonin release from a specific neuron in C. elegans affects whole-brain activity and behavior by identifying core and interacting serotonin receptors and mapping their expression and functional roles.

The paper shows that diverse states and stimuli modulate olfactory receptor expression in C. elegans to influence food-seeking behavior.
