The development of functional synapses in the nervous system is important for animal physiology and behaviors, its disturbance has been linked with many neurodevelopmental disorders. synaptic transmission efficacy can be modulated by environment to accommodate external changes, which crucial reproduction survival. However, underlying plasticity remains poorly understood. Here we show that Caenorhabditis elegans, male increases hermaphrodite cholinergic at neuromuscular junction (NMJ), alters...
Sexually dimorphic behaviors are ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom. Although both sex-specific and sex-shared neurons have been functionally implicated in these diverse behaviors, less is known about roles of neurons. Here, we discovered sexually cholinergic synaptic transmission C. elegans occurring at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), with males exhibiting increased release frequencies, which result locomotion behaviors. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that significantly more...
SUMMARY The development of functional synapses in the nervous system is important for animal physiology and behaviors. synaptic transmission efficacy can be modulated by environment to accommodate external changes, which crucial reproduction survival. However, underlying plasticity remains poorly understood. Here we show that C. elegans , male pheromone increases hermaphrodite cholinergic at neuromuscular junction (NMJ), alters hermaphrodites’ locomotion velocity mating efficiency a...
