Developmental history modulates adult olfactory behavioral preferences via regulation of chemoreceptor expression in C. elegans

This study shows that developmental dauer arrest in C. elegans alters chemoreceptor expression, leading to changes in olfactory behavior and attraction to food-related odorants.

Diverse states and stimuli tune olfactory receptor expression levels to modulate food-seeking behavior

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

Dendrites with specialized glial attachments develop by retrograde extension using SAX-7 and GRDN-1

The paper identifies SAX-7 and GRDN-1 as essential for dendrite development through retrograde extension in C. elegans neurons.

Morphogenesis of neurons and glia within an epithelium

The paper studies how neurons and glia in C. elegans develop epithelial-like structures, showing they share properties and mechanisms with other epithelia.

A neuronal MAP kinase constrains growth of a C. elegans sensory dendrite throughout the life of the organism

The paper identifies genes that constrain dendrite growth in C. elegans throughout life, revealing a mechanism distinct from developmental growth pathways.
