Thermotaxis of C. elegans as a model for temperature perception, neural information processing and neural plasticity

Thermotaxis is a model to elucidate how nervous systems sense and memorize environmental conditions to regulate behavioral strategies in Caenorhabditis elegans. The genetic and neural imaging analyses revealed molecular and cellular bases of this experience-dependent behavior. Surprisingly, thermose...

description Thermotaxis is a model to elucidate how nervous systems sense and memorize environmental conditions to regulate behavioral strategies in Caenorhabditis elegans. The genetic and neural imaging analyses revealed molecular and cellular bases of this experience-dependent behavior. Surprisingly, thermosensory neurons themselves memorize the sensed temperatures. Recently developed techniques for optical manipulation of neuronal activity have facilitated the revelation that there is a sophisticated information flow between sensory neurons and interneurons. Further studies on thermotaxis will allow us to understand the fundamental logics of neural processing from sensory perceptions to behavioral outputs.
