Effect of starvation on electrotaxis response

Caenorhabditis elegans is an ideal model for investigating the effects of extrinsic and intrinsic conditions on the behavioral changes of animals. Our group previously showed how different conditions influence the behavior of worms following an electric stimulus in a microfluidic channel, known as e...

description Caenorhabditis elegans is an ideal model for investigating the effects of extrinsic and intrinsic conditions on the behavioral changes of animals. Our group previously showed how different conditions influence the behavior of worms following an electric stimulus in a microfluidic channel, known as electrotaxis. In this study we describe the effect of starvation on the electrotaxis movement of animals. We show that acute starvation did not affect the electrotaxis response or dopaminergic neurons but extended the lifespan of animals.
