Distributed rhythm generators underlie Caenorhabditis elegans forward locomotion
Coordinated rhythmic movements are ubiquitous in animal behavior. In many organisms, chains of neural oscillators underlie the generation of these rhythms. In C. elegans, locomotor wave generation has been poorly understood; in particular, it is unclear where in the circuit rhythms are generated, and whether there exists more than one such generator. We used optogenetic and ablation experiments...
متن کاملDopaminergic neurons modulate locomotion in Caenorhabditis elegans
Adaptation in the sensory-mechanical loop during locomotion is a powerful mechanism that allows organisms to survive in different conditions and environments. For example, humans can walk on earth gravity, but they switch to hopping on, for example, moon gravity. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans also shows adaptability by employing thrashing behaviour in low viscosity media and crawling in h...
متن کاملCircadian Behavioural Rhythm in Caenorhabditis elegans
Transcriptional/translational feedback loops between clock genes such as per and tim — first cloned in Drosophila — and their protein products [1,2] are thought to constitute the core of the circadian clock [3–5]. A representative of the early metazoan body plan, the nematode (roundworm) Caenorhabditis elegans has had its complete cell lineage traced and it is known that it has many molecular c...
متن کاملMotoneurons dedicated to either forward or backward locomotion in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
Multifunctional motoneurons and muscles, which are active during forward and backward locomotion are ubiquitous in animal models. However, studies in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans suggest that some locomotor motoneurons are necessary only for forward locomotion (dorsal B-motoneurons, DB), while others (dorsal A-motoneurons, DA) are necessary only for backward locomotion. We tested this hy...
