Opponent vesicular transporters regulate the strength of glutamatergic neurotransmission in a C. elegans sensory circuit

Jung-Hwan Choi, Lauren Bayer Horowitz, Niels Ringstad

The paper shows that VST-1 antagonizes EAT-4/VGLUT to regulate glutamate release and chemotaxis in C. elegans.

Repression of an activity-dependent autocrine insulin signal is required for sensory neuron development in C. elegans.

Lauren Bayer Horowitz, Julia P. Brandt, Niels Ringstad

This study shows that autocrine insulin-like peptide signaling, regulated by neural activity and genetic programs, is essential for the development of chemosensory neurons in C. elegans.
