Serotonin signals through postsynaptic Gαq, Trio RhoGEF, and diacylglycerol to promote C. elegans egg-laying circuit activity and behavior

Pravat Dhakal, Sana I. Chaudhry, Rossana Signorelli, Kevin M. Collins

The paper investigates how serotonin signaling through Gq, PLCβ, and Trio RhoGEF promotes egg-laying behavior in C. elegans by modulating DAG levels and distinct effector pathways.
