This valuable study shows that an odorant that is typically thought of as a repellant actually activates both attractant and repellant olfactory neurons in C. elegans. Solid evidence is provided that ...

C. elegans is ideally suited to investigate these questions. In the C. elegans nervous system, all 302 neurons are generated by asymmetric cell division. Since the entire cell lineage is known, the ...
