High-fidelity encoding of mechanostimuli by tactile food-sensing neurons requires an ensemble of ion channels
Dopaminergic neurons (expressing Pdat-1::mStrawberry) and serotonergic neurons (expressing Ptph-1::GFP) were purified from C. elegans embryos and larvae. We identified transcripts that were enriched in dopaminergic neurons compared to serotonin neurons. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data from C. elegans dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons.
