Alcohol Disinhibition of Behaviors in C. elegans
Alcohol has a wide variety of effects on physiology and behavior. One of the most well-recognized behavioral effects is disinhibition, where behaviors that are normally suppressed are displayed following intoxication. A large body of evidence has shown that alcohol-induced disinhibition in humans affects attention, verbal, sexual, and locomotor behaviors. Similar behavioral disinhibition is als...
متن کاملThe emergence of stereotyped behaviors in C. elegans
Animal behaviors are sometimes decomposable into discrete, stereotyped elements. In one model, such behaviors are triggered by specific commands; in the extreme case, the discreteness of behavior is traced to the discreteness of action potentials in the individual command neurons. We use the crawling behavior of the nematode C. elegans to explore the opposite extreme, in which discreteness and ...
متن کاملResolving coiled shapes reveals new reorientation behaviors in C. elegans
We exploit the reduced space of C. elegans postures to develop a novel tracking algorithm which captures both simple shapes and also self-occluding coils, an important, yet unexplored, component of 2D worm behavior. We apply our algorithm to show that visually complex, coiled sequences are a superposition of two simpler patterns: the body wave dynamics and a head-curvature pulse. We demonstrate...
متن کاملEffects of alcohol priming on social disinhibition.
Recent studies have suggested that exposure to rudimentary alcohol cues activates mental representations of alcohol expectancies in long-term memory, thereby promoting expectancy-consistent behavior changes. However, reliance in these previous studies on self-report measures raises the possibility that prior findings were an artifact of experimental demand. The present study was aimed at ruling...
متن کاملCompensating for alcohol-induced impairment: alcohol expectancies and behavioral disinhibition.
OBJECTIVE Studies have shown that expectations of alcohol-induced impairment can produce adaptive responses to alcohol that serve to reduce the degree of behavioral impairment displayed. The present research examined how an expectancy-induced adaptive response could reduce the impairing effects of alcohol on response activation, while at the same time increase its impairing effect on response i...
