Learning is an essential biological process for survival since it facilitates behavioural
plasticity in response to environmental changes. This process is mediated by a wide variety …

Myriad mechanisms have evolved to adapt to changing environments. Environmental stimuli
alter organisms' physiology to create memories of previous environments. Whether these …

The causality and mechanism of dietary effects on brain aging are still unclear due to the
long time scales of aging. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has contributed to aging …

Port-wine birthmarks (PWBs) are caused by somatic, mosaic mutations in the G protein
guanine nucleotide binding protein alpha subunit q (GNAQ) and are characterized by the …

Loss of cognitive function with age is devastating. EGL-30/GNAQ and G αq signaling
pathways are highly conserved between C. elegans and mammals, and murine Gnaq is …

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM), a ubiquitous air pollutant, is the leading environmental
risk factor for mortality worldwide. Experimental and epidemiological studies consistently …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans learns the concentration of NaCl and moves toward
the previously experienced concentration. In this behavior, the history of NaCl concentration …

Insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor signaling (IIS) supports context-dependent
learning in vertebrates and invertebrates. Here, we identify cell-specific mechanisms of IIS …

Behavioral plasticity allows animals to modulate their behavior based on experience and
environmental conditions. Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits experience-dependent changes …

We show that C. elegans nematodes learn to associate food with a combination of
proprioceptive cues and information on the structure of their surroundings (maze), perceived …
