A Novel C. elegans Memory Type Mediated by an Insulin/Phospholipase C Pathway

Daniel M. Merritt, Alexandra Udachina, Ninon Freidel, Sylvia M. T. Almeida, Yan Ming Anson Lau, Matthew Lee, Derek van der Kooy

The paper identifies a novel memory type in C. elegans mediated by an insulin/phospholipase C pathway, distinct from known molecular categories of invertebrate memory.

Arrestin-mediated Desensitization Enables Olfactory Discrimination in C. elegans

Daniel M. Merritt, Isabel MacKay-Clackett, Sylvia M. T. Almeida, Celina Tran, Safa Ansar, Derek van der Kooy

This study shows that β-arrestin-mediated desensitization in C. elegans enables olfactory discrimination despite high receptor density in single neurons, contrasting with mammalian labelled line coding.
