Monoaminergic orchestration of motor programs in a complex C. elegans behavior.

Monoaminergic orchestration of motor programs in a complex C. elegans behavior.

Monoamines provide chemical codes of behavioral states. However, the neural mechanisms of monoaminergic orchestration of behavior are poorly understood. Touch elicits an escape response in Caenorhabditis elegans where the animal moves backward and turns to change its direction of locomotion. We show...
