cGMP signaling regulates context-dependent sensory valence in C. elegans

Ricardo F. Frausto, Navonil Banerjee, Michelle L. Castelletto…·Elissa A. Hallem

This study shows that cGMP signaling via EGL-4 in C. elegans BAG neurons determines context-dependent CO2 sensory valence based on satiety state and cultivation conditions.
