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 ...

Oregon Health & Science University, in collaboration with Oregon State University, has discovered the structural organization ...

From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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