Context-dependent reversal of odorant preference is driven by inversion of the response in a single sensory neuron type

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Munzareen Khan et al. from the University, UNITED STATES have published the research work: Context-dependent reversal of odorant preference is driven by inversion of the response in a single sensory neuron type, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of June/13,/2022
• what: The authors show that the behavioral response of Caenorhabditis elegans to bacterially produced medium-chain alcohols switches from attraction to avoidance when presented in the background of subset of additional attractive chemicals. The authors show that these opposing responses are driven via engagement of distinct odorant-directed signal transduction pathways within AWC . . .
