title: Should I stay or should I go: neuromodulators of behavioral states.
abstract: Animals are often in discrete behavioral states, but it is unclear how one specific state is generated and opposes alternative states. Flavell et al. now identify molecular and neural components in C. elegans that are involved in the generation of dwelling and roaming states.
