This study shows that prior high effort in C. elegans increases subsequent food approach and aversive barrier crossing, with effects lasting up to 1 hour.

The paper analyzes the C. elegans connectome to show how asymmetry in synaptic connectivity balances redundancy and reachability in neural function.

The paper demonstrates that genetically engineered synapses can restore chemotaxis in a damaged C. elegans chemosensory circuit by amplifying weakened signals through unintended lateral connections.

This paper identifies INX-18 and INX-19 as distinct components of electrical synapses in C. elegans that modulate aversive behavior through cGMP exchange between ASH and ASK neurons.
