On Thursday April 1, the Department of Biology hosted Niels Ringstad, professor in the Department of Cell Biology at the New ...

As reported by Michael Skuhersky in Asterisk Magazine, researchers have repeatedly tried and failed to simulate the brain of C. elegans ... The worm's simple 300-neuron brain offers the perfect ...

When C. elegans worms fed on infectious Pseudomonas bacteria that made them sick (as it does to humans), they responded ... worms are stressed by heat, a neuron called ALA releases FLP-13 to ...

Regardless, these findings suggest that, in C. elegans, stimulation of a single sensory neuron by one odour can have opposing behavioural effects through changes in intracellular signalling.

We have found that overexpression of human TDP-43 in C. elegans results in abnormal motor neuron synapses (Ash et al, 2010), while deletion of tdp-1, the C. elegans ortholog of TDP-43, results in an ...

We use a C. elegans-to-human neuron cross-translational platform that provides both an in vivo model and system to identify conserved mechanisms.
