title: G-protein signaling: satisfying the basic necessities of life.
abstract: Recent studies have shed light on the role of G-protein signaling, and in particular the regulatory RGS proteins, in behavioral adaptations of the round worm Caenorhabditis elegans; similar signaling pathways underlie analogous physiology and behaviors in mammals.
