Learning is an essential biological process for survival since it facilitates behavioural
plasticity in response to environmental changes. This process is mediated by a wide variety …

Myriad mechanisms have evolved to adapt to changing environments. Environmental stimuli
alter organisms' physiology to create memories of previous environments. Whether these …

Gene expression in individual neurons can change during development to adulthood and
can have large effects on behavior. Additionally, the insulin/insulin-like signaling (IIS) …

The causality and mechanism of dietary effects on brain aging are still unclear due to the
long time scales of aging. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has contributed to aging …

Port-wine birthmarks (PWBs) are caused by somatic, mosaic mutations in the G protein
guanine nucleotide binding protein alpha subunit q (GNAQ) and are characterized by the …

Loss of cognitive function with age is devastating. EGL-30/GNAQ and G αq signaling
pathways are highly conserved between C. elegans and mammals, and murine Gnaq is …

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM), a ubiquitous air pollutant, is the leading environmental
risk factor for mortality worldwide. Experimental and epidemiological studies consistently …

Behavioral plasticity allows animals to modulate their behavior based on experience and
environmental conditions. Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits experience-dependent changes …

The poet WB Yeats wrote that “All that is personal soon rots, it must be packed in ice or salt”.
Here we show that in Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes, simple animals with just 302 …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans learns the concentration of NaCl and moves toward
the previously experienced concentration. In this behavior, the history of NaCl concentration …
