Genetic and Neural Circuit Analyses of Sickness and Foraging Behaviors in C. elegans
A fundamental goal of neurobiology is to decipher how the brain generates behaviors. Neuromodulation of brain circuits is thought to be critical for animals to generate long-lasting behavioral states crucial for survival. However, our understanding of the specific mechanisms by which neuromodulators...
