Circuit mechanisms encoding odors and driving aging-associated behavioral declines in Caenorhabditis elegans

Circuit mechanisms encoding odors and driving aging-associated behavioral declines in Caenorhabditis elegans

Chemosensory neurons extract information about chemical cues from the environment. How is the activity in these sensory neurons transformed into behavior? Using Caenorhabditis elegans, we map a novel sensory neuron circuit motif that encodes odor concentration. Primary neurons, AWCON and AWA, direct...
