c. elegans

Researchers have been able to map the entire set of circuits in the roundworm C. elegans.

C. elegans detects several odorants with the bilaterally symmetric pair of AWC olfactory neurons.

In a second experiment, the Jena scientists examined exactly this range of concentration in the model organism C. elegans.

Even C. elegans might have a little consciousness.

The C. elegans genome had just been decoded, and Dr. Bargmann was able to identify the worm's odorant receptor genes.

and that mechanism was conserved in vertebrates and snails, but lost in animals like Drosophila and C. elegans.

But one advantage of the nematode C. elegans is that it is transparent; shining light over the animal triggers neural activity.

The research was performed on C. elegans, tiny roundworms that typically live an average of two weeks.

Gene interaction studies have defined a genetic pathway for the execution phase of programmed cell death in C. elegans.

Objective: To record the release of a single synaptic vesicle in the C. elegans.

Even C. elegans worms that wiggle slowly die sooner than worms of the same age that wiggle more quickly.

Although first discovered in C. elegans, miRNAs have since been shown to be involved in human cancers 5.

In addition, the research team used C. elegans as a model system to identify a gene that regulates sleep.

Genes that regulate lifespan were first discovered in C. elegans.

Nematodes, or C. elegans, are tiny worms about one millimeter long that live in the dirt, chomping bacteria.
