Caenorhabditis elegans lives in a complex habitat in which they routinely experience large
fluctuations in temperature, and encounter physical obstacles that vary in size and …

The emerging field of optogenetics allows for optical activation or inhibition of excitable cells.
In 2005, optogenetic proteins were expressed in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans for …

Temperature has widespread and diverse effects on different subcellular components of
neuronal circuits making it difficult to predict precisely the overall influence on output …

Temperature is a critical environmental stimulus that has a strong impact on an organism's
biochemistry. Animals can respond to changes in ambient temperature through behaviour or …

It is poorly understood how sensory systems memorize the intensity of sensory stimulus,
compare it with a newly sensed stimulus, and regulate the orientation behaviour based on …

Animals must sense and acclimatize to environmental temperatures for survival, yet their
thermosensing mechanisms other than transient receptor potential (TRP) channels remain …

Variation in food quality and abundance requires animals to decide whether to stay on a
poor food patch or leave in search of better food. An important question in behavioral …

Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits behavior plasticity that appears to correspond to non-
associative and associative learning, and short-term and long-term memory. Recent finding …

Neural plasticity, the ability of neurons to change their properties in response to
experiences, underpins the nervous system's capacity to form memories and actuate …

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) exhibits cold tolerance and temperature
acclimatisation regulated by a small number of head sensory neurons, such as the ADL …
