This study assesses the acute toxicity of 30 organic solvents on C. elegans motility and posture, finding that lipid solubility and functional groups influence adverse effects.

This study identifies JNK and p38 MAPK pathways in C. elegans that mediate salt chemotaxis learning, with distinct roles in avoiding low and high salt concentrations.

This paper shows that C. elegans chemosensory neuron ASEL mediates opposing learned chemotactic responses to glucose and salt, regulated by kinase-phosphatase signaling.

This study identifies cell-specific insulin/IGF signaling mechanisms in C. elegans that regulate presynaptic glutamate release during aversive olfactory learning.
