Elucidating The Role Of Dopamine In The Avoidance Response Of Caenorhabditis Elegans Utilizing Microfluidics, Patricia Frances Turturro
Elucidating The Role Of Dopamine In The Avoidance Response Of Caenorhabditis Elegans Utilizing Microfluidics, Patricia Frances Turturro
Theses Digitization Project
This study looks at dopamine modulation of ASH neurons, which are part of the avoidance circuit of C. elegans, and their response to water soluble stimuli. Because nematodes such as Caenorhabditis elegans utilize dopamine at the molecular and cellular level in much the same way as mammals, they offer researchers a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms of dopamine signaling.

Dopaminergic Modulation Of Glutamate Signaling In Caenorhabditis Elegans, Melvin Suman Baidya
Theses Digitization Project
This study investigates how DA (dopamine) modulates GLU (glutamate) signaling at the interneuron level of the C. elegans avoidance circuit in response to the noxious chemical 1-octanol. Many neural processes involved in addiction, exhibit cellular mechanisms using the neurotransmitters dopamine and glutamate along with their intracellular and genomic targets.
