A new behavioral assay is described for studying chemosensation in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. This assay presents three main characteristics: (1) the worm is restrained by gluing, preserving correlates of identifiable behaviors; (2) the amplitude and time course of the stimulus are control

## Abstract The dauer larva is a specialized thirdβlarval stage of __Caenorhabditis elegans__ that is longβlived and resistant to environmental insult. The dauer larva is formed in response to a high external concentration of a constituβtively secreted pheromone. Response to the dauerβinducing pher
## Abstract In vertebrates and invertebrates, dopamine signaling modulates a wide variety of physical and behavioral functions and exerts these effects through heterotrimeric G proteins. The soil nematode __Caenorhabditis elegans__ has been used to model dopamine signaling and reacts reproducibly t
