Regulation of a periodic motor program in C. elegans.
A three-part motor program mediates a defecation every 45 sec in well-fed wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans. Individual worms maintain this 45 sec rhythm with an SD of about 3 sec. We present evidence that the defecation cycle is controlled by an endogenous clock, most likely a neuronal pattern generator. The phase of the behavioral rhythm can be reset like pattern generators in other animals. T...
متن کاملWhole transcriptome profiling reveals the RNA content of motor axons
Most RNAs within polarized cells such as neurons are sorted subcellularly in a coordinated manner. Despite advances in the development of methods for profiling polyadenylated RNAs from small amounts of input RNA, techniques for profiling coding and non-coding RNAs simultaneously are not well established. Here, we optimized a transcriptome profiling method based on double-random priming and appl...
متن کاملIntroduction: C. elegans as a model organism
organism The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a genetically tractable multicellular organism that has been the subject of intense study for more than four decades. It has been successfully used as a model system to address fundamental questions in multiple fields of biology, including development, neurobiology and aging. In recent years, this tiny nematode worm has been applied to the study o...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
Analysis of NPR-1 Reveals a Circuit Mechanism for Behavioral Quiescence in C. elegans
Animals undergo periods of behavioral quiescence and arousal in response to environmental, circadian, or developmental cues. During larval molts, C. elegans undergoes a period of profound behavioral quiescence termed lethargus. Locomotion quiescence during lethargus was abolished in mutants lacking a neuropeptide receptor (NPR-1) and was reduced in mutants lacking NPR-1 ligands (FLP-18 and FLP-...
