Description:
Article In Caenorhabditis elegans , nociception and avoidance behaviour are crucial for survival, but their modulation is poorly understood. Here, the authors describe a cross-inhibitory neural circuit between ASH and ASI sensory neurons that fine-tunes nociception and mediates adaptive avoidance behaviour.
