چکیده
Cornelia Isabella Bargmann studied the relationship between genes [4], neural circuits, and behavior in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans [5] (C. elegans) during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in the US. Bargmann?s research focused on how the sense of smell (olfaction) in the nematode word Caenorhabditis elegans [6]. She provided a model to study how neural circuits develop and function in the human brain, as the genetic regulatory pathways are similar. She also studied how neurons develop and form connections to influence sensory abilities, and how chemicals called neuropeptides influence reproductive behavior in C. elegans. Such studies enabled researchers to make inferences about similar processes in other organisms, such as humans [7].

Laser microsurgery in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Laser killing of cell nuclei has long been a powerful means of examining the roles of individual cells in C. elegans. Advances in genetics, laser technology, and imaging have further expanded the capabilities and usefulness of laser surgery. Here, we review the implementation and application of currently used methods for target edoptical disruption in C. elegans.
متن کاملInvertebrate nociception: behaviors, neurons and molecules.
Genetic analysis of nociceptive behaviors in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has led to the discovery of conserved sensory transduction channels and signaling molecules. These are embedded in neurons and circuits that generate responses to noxious signals. This article reviews the neurons and molecular mechanisms that underlie invertebrate nocicepti...

The Effects of Gene Regulation on Aging in Caenorhabditis elegans (2003)
In 2003, molecular biology and genetics researchers Coleen T. Murphy, Steven A. McCarroll, Cornelia I. Bargmann, Andrew Fraser, Ravi S. Kamath, Julie Ahringer, Hao Li, and Cynthia Kenyon conducted an experiment that investigated the cellular aging [6] in, Caenorhabditis elegans [5] (C. elegans) nematodes. The researchers investigated the interactions between the transcription factor DAF-16 and ...

Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is an uncommon multiple congenital anomaly with unknown cause and recurrent risk and may be the result of an inheritance metabolic error. In classical form of the syndrome there is a recognizable facial appearance at birth although in children with mild disease this may be less obvious at birth but become more noticeable over the first three years of life. In t...
