Role of tyramine in calcium dynamics of GABAergic neurons and escape behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans

Role of tyramine in calcium dynamics of GABAergic neurons and escape behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans

Abstract Background Tyramine, known as a “trace amine” in mammals, modulates a wide range of behavior in invertebrates; however, the underlying cellular and circuit mechanisms are not well understood. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), tyramine affects key behaviors, including fora...
