C. elegans enteric motor neurons fire synchronized action potentials underlying the defecation motor program

The paper identifies that C. elegans enteric motor neurons fire synchronized action potentials essential for defecation behavior, revealing digital coding in motor neurons.

Reliability of an interneuron response depends on an integrated sensory state

The paper shows that AIA interneurons in C. elegans use AND-gate logic to integrate sensory inputs for reliable responses to attractive odors.

Parallel multimodal circuits control an innate foraging behavior

The paper identifies parallel multimodal circuits in C. elegans that control local search behavior after food removal, showing redundancy and integration of chemosensory and mechanosensory inputs.

The C. elegans AWA Olfactory Neuron Fires Calcium-Mediated All-or-None Action Potentials

The paper discovers that C. elegans AWA olfactory neurons fire all-or-none action potentials, suggesting digital coding in addition to analog coding.
